This wasn’t what I was expecting, it was so much better!
Remembrance Review
This was so amazing! I was expecting a historical fiction about the Underground Railroad, and I got that, as well as so much more! From beginning to end I was completely hooked on this book! What an amazing storyline, as well as amazing characters, and just enough magic to make it mystical. I loved every second!
Wins:
-the characters were so strong! Winter, Abigail, Margot, and Gayelle were an amazing cast of main characters that I found myself attached to instantly, as well as heartbroken over as their stories continues.
Along with this is the supporting characters. Dix has the best character arch that I wasn’t expecting , Petal is absolutely amazing, and David Henry is a hunky hero that I loved.
-the heartbreak. This does have to do with slavery, and with that there is a lot of torture, as well as death that everyone goes through, and you get to see a firsthand account of it all, it breaks your heart, but those characters reactions are so memorable!
-the storyline. Such a good storyline. I loved the magic in this, as well as the spirits, and I tore through it, and had a hard time putting it down
Opportunities
-Margot. I loved her so much in the beginning, but she had such a weak arch that by the end I didn’t really care where she ended up, she did by far have the best magic, but i feel like I saw it the least.
-I want more Gayelle! As a former cna, I loved her storyline, I felt so bad for her, but I absolutely loved her progression and her ending, just wish we had more of her in the book
-I don’t have much more. There were some graphic parts, that’s my only real disclosure
All in all, I was not ready for this book. It was so different than what I was expecting in honestly the best way! I genuinely hope we get a continuance, even though I doubt we will. I will definitely keep my eyes out for Rita woods, because I loved this so much!
