A review by mitskacir
Trouble the Saints by Alaya Dawn Johnson

2.0

I was so disconnected from this book I’m not even sure what to say. Perhaps I should have read the hard copy instead of listening to the audiobook - the readers had these terrible old-timey accents that really didn’t do it for me. But at the same time, the story was so meandering and didn’t end up going anywhere, I didn’t feel any particular attachment to any characters, and the commentary on race was either simplistic or went over my head, so I don’t think it was all the audio narrators’ fault. There were also a lot of random sex scenes, which felt very unnecessary.
