i don’t know how to feel about this book. the writing is vivacious but the main characters inner monologue is slightly insufferable. im tempted enough to finish the book because there are some passages that are too good to deny.

im tryna finish this book but why’s sylvia making it so difficult ?? it’s either i looked like a sick indian or he looked alien and strange like a refugee. like i get it was the sixties nd i want to love this book but so much of it is inaccessible because of the constant othering which dampens the entire thing. I WANA LOVE IT HAS NICE WRITING BUT this book wasn’t meant for me mayne (anyway leme finish)

tabbing the hell out of this already😭😭 “because gunshots,lies and oxtail— or whatever you want to call your god—should say Yes over and over, in cycles, in spirals, with no other reason but to hear itself exist. Because love, at its best, repeats itself. Shouldn’t it?”

im not too engaged with the plot as i am the writing which is lit a curse. it’s a really cool concept but im not entirely captured by it and not to say it’s dull because i do enjoy reading it but i have to say it!!! after reading a song of wraith and ruin non-poc fantasy is so borin to me ndndnd
