The Rib King is very beautifully written. From the very beginning, I was in awe at the pacing of the story. I often get deterred from books with long chapters (example, chapter 1 of this story is 34 pages), but I was very easily intrigued by the synopsis and storytelling.
We explore this timely story from two different perspectives. Unlike many stories however, this one does not alternate by chapters, but halfway through the book. I think this was a smart choice and gave to an excellent viewpoint into the characters and why they made the choices they made.
Without any spoilers, I will say that this book should be read with open eyes. This particular book may be one of fiction, but there are so many truths to it. It can be difficult to comprehend something you would never imagine and yet these actions occur daily because privilege is alive and beating strong.
