Heartbreaking beginning that leads to a story about the experience of living in prison. I’m not sure what message I’m supposed to get from this book, but I found it interesting and wanted to keep reading.

An in-depth look into the back story (or lack there of) of Surge the Tenrec and Kitsunami the Fennec Fox, Sonic and Tail's latest set of anthropomorphic antagonists. I am 100% certain that most anyone who might glance at this isn't going to read Sonic the Hedgehog comics, but if you have and you like Surge, Kit, and Dr. Starline, it's an interesting look into these characters. Here's a fun fact you didn't need to know: these three were designed based on Glitches in the coloring of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in Sonic 3.

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

This book was a lot to take in. The end though, that was a storm that I would love to see again. Aelin and Dorian, the two most powerful characters destroyed that castle and the king. I can't believe that the king was trying fight the prince all along

I liked the premise but I felt that the execution could have been better. I think it should have been a duology or trilogy because then there would have been more room to fully flesh out the plot and develop the characters. I appreciated the diverse cast of characters, I just would have liked to have been able to get to know each of them a little more.

This was good story but a bit slow for me

I don't normally read lighthearted, true crime type thrillers, but this book was exactly the fodder I needed to get me engrossed in a story during a time of loss. Many of the criticisms I read in other reviews talked about how the story was predictable, but this is what I liked about it. I don't do well with suspense, so reading a Jane Eyre reimagination (one of my favorite books) was good, predictable comfort reading.

I flew through this book! I love that she writes about hard topics but still keeps the story uplifting. She is a must-read author for me!

I really enjoyedthis book1 It was an unusual story - very creative! I like to think that I can imagine the character's storyline continuing - Maybe there will be a part 2!

This novel offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective by retelling a classic story from the viewpoint of an enslaved character, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. While the engaging storytelling and sharp wit are commendable, some might find the juxtaposition of humor and harrowing themes a bit jarring at times
