I’m overlooking that this used the trope where the brown people are enslaved because their people did something heinous in the past.
I enjoyed Sable/Imari and witnessing her grow and accept her powers and not lose her toughness once the guy comes into the picture. I’m glad Jerek finally realized that people were people no matter what race but it took a bit.
The plot twists came and went and I only saw them coming a little before they happened instead of miles before and everyone who needed to die for the sake of my anger issues and sense of justice did. Over all a solid read with a need for trigger warnings.
