3.5 ⭐️ Although I didn’t love this book, I did like it. I don’t read slavery books very often, probably because of how terribly sad they always are - and this one is no exception. I will say the narration for the audiobook was well done and interesting to listen to. But the writing itself could have been better. The dual POV felt redundant and the ending felt rushed.

It was so intriguing and tense that I couldn’t stop reading. I wouldn’t say I liked it, but I needed to finish it because I needed to know the ending. But throughout the book all I was thinking who’s going to die next?
Half of the plot is just babies- having babies, making babies, birthing babies, dying babies, nursing babies, healing babies.
Also racial slurs and literally all male characters are trash people, except Will.
