Oh my god, this book is such a trash fire so far. So much rampant passive voice, and so much head-hopping. And REALLY questionable racial issues. And now we have fucking MOSES showing up!? I really don't know why so many people recommended this to be back in the day, but I guess the '90s were really a different time.
Let's see how far I can get in this thing...

This book. Was. Not. Good. It was racist, orientalist, othering and there was an actual evangelical theme of proving that the Bible was Real that felt both heavy-handed and othering.
Review to come soon on Dear Author. I will post a link when it's up.

So, I got a dead tree copy at the library, so I felt like I could probably evaluate this book.
To be fair, the opening chapter is banger. Written in the first person, it's fast-paced and engaging. I enjoyed it a lot.
But then, Chloe traveled back in time, and the POV shifted to third person omniscient. Plus, there's SOOOO many problems with brownface and racism in this book... I honestly don't know where to begin.
