Really beautiful imagery and heart breaking scenes throughout, but ultimately struggled to find a plot in the relationship with the human characters and the magical realism characters. Once the spirit characters enter the fold, it becomes harder to finish the book, which starts to feel slower and slower despite the poetic imagery, which to me felt like it slowed the pace of the book even more.

I could not get behind this book and only kept reading for the sake of the book club I’m in. I did not like the writing style and would have preferred the story without the supernatural elements. It’s a tough read, with the story being about a girl sold into slavery and her experiences, however I found the spirits in the book distracting and would have rather just her story on its own.

Like most books on slavery, this was emotionally hard to read. But it was beautifully written, and I loved Annis and even Aza. I have hope for Annis.
