A review by raeanne
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
Totally lives up to the hype even years later. It was hard but necessary to read about his parents, and his conflicted feelings of diaspora. It's a clear demonstration without dumbing it down or pandering to white audiences.
At the same time, it shows how race and gender intersect to create misogynoir and how black men and white women often miss the point with black women.
Gods I love Prunella. I just really fucking love her.
Zacharias is a fuddy duddy trained by the white supremacy but he gets better. In the face of contrary evidence, he changes his opinions. Unlike the white elitists who have to be dragged kicking and screaming like spoiled brats they are.
Romance is all companionship & teasing suggestion from others until the very end with The Kiss.
I did not suspect the twists and conclusions, which plays a small part in making it perfect.
