I liked the plot more than the writing. I found the beginning kind of drawn-out, and I had to stick with it for something to start happening. I also understand writing in a time period, but I feel like some sensitivity could have been used in the vocab to keep way from more racial and outdated terms. I think there's got to be a way to be "authentic," but to also be respectful of people's humanity.
