Clearly they did their research on the Orisha, but not how to pronounce it correctly? I get it - most people mispronounce Yoruba names it’s in character for them to botch it too… But still, so annoying.

Awesome book though.

Black folks finally got out own Harry Potter but sooo much better. The HBCU experience, complex parental relationships and a fire narrative. A true masterpiece and national treasure.

A true page turner. You won’t be disappointed. Why isn’t there a movie of this yet? I need that.

The relationship between Plagueis and Sidious is more nuanced than Bane and Zannah. A very different take for very different characters. Well done.

While I had heard of the epic of Gilgamesh, this contemporary spin with an all too timely narrative is nothing short of masterful.

Reading it with fresh eyes was a delight.

Oh how I wish I had this book when I was growing up. But I’m happy my children will read it.

Instant classic. A must have for all Black families.

My guy was willing to switch genders to stay the Dark Lord of the Sith. Now that’s what you call commitment. Lol!

A story is only as good as its villain. Bane’s story had depth, nuance and the charisma befitting his legend. There’s even a sprinkle of Darth Revan mixed in (can’t miss with Revan). A great read.
