A review by bobbysays
Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland

3.0

I just wasn’t as impressed as some have claimed. The characters never fully developed for me. I didn’t truly feel anything for any of them and was more annoyed that anything. Romance isn’t necessary, but in both the first book and this second one, there were promises of romanced that never came to fruition and that was frustrating. The hint of romance could have been left out altogether and I think it would have made for a better book. The end seemed hurried as well and was definitely anti-climactic with some mysterious left unresolved - perhaps to leave room for another book. It would definitely make for a good movie though and I love that the slavery trope was exchanged for free black people navigating a territory that was new in more ways than one.
