This was a good book, and there were lots of things I liked about it like the sensitive way in which it explored intergenerational trauma, systemic racism, and grief. I kind of liked the beginning the most though and found some of the middle and end dragged for me. I guess I went into it expecting something else - more of like an academia book than one with so much action in it. I would have also loved to have learned more about root craft, but maybe the author is planning on exploring that in future novels.
