My main critiques are his uneven pace. Perhaps beyond me, the author goes out of his way to make his one female character a strong woman, but doesn’t have the gumption to pass the Bechdel test.
I also don’t understand why he uses the “Magical Negro” literary trope without expanding on it or turning it on its head. If the irony is that he uses it exactly how it was historically used, then it is utterly lost in translation.
