Eden‘s Everdark is a beautifully written novel about the rawness of grief and the impact of generational trauma, as well as the brilliance of love between family and friends, with so much #BlackGirlMagic. The story was rich and atmospheric and so intricately written, I just know it will be loved by so many adults and children alike for generations to come.
