This book was not bad but I think there could have just been more. The characters and what happened were good but the ending could have definitely been better so that was -0.5⭐️, and then I think the overall plot could have just been better so that’s -1⭐️ but I did enjoy reading it

When I first started this book, I was temped to give it up. But I pushed through, and loved it. This book has great, deep characters, a gripping plot and a beautiful setting. This book started off rough, but it ended with a new-found love of it. Cannot recommend it enough.

THIS BOOK!
You know a book is good when you can’t stop thinking about it when you aren’t reading it. This book was it for me. 

I felt so much sadness for the family. Death after death, bad news after bad news. I had mixed emotions when Obeme and Ben were contemplating on how to kill Abulu. Cause on one hand, I can see their driving point, but on the other hand was it wasn’t the right thing to do. Still loved every part of it tho
