Andromeda

Wonderful retelling

Revisado: 02-04-23

She said exactly what I thought from the beginning. Her child, being born a black male, was already putting his life in danger in present-day America. They did a great job of using sound to give you visuals. Wanting a part 2 with the first 30 years of baby Joshua's life. Would be awesome.

Female fragility under the microscope

Revisado: 07-25-22

I really loved this book. I can relate too well to many things in this book. The Diviners story is the story of my people. Still hunted for melanin and organs. Not seen as people but a commodity to be used, bought, sold, traded and stocked at the whims of those who do not see us as human. If only magic was real. If only the Orisha worked like they do in this book. Mysteries would be solved and industries shut down. Read this book if you want to understand the price we all pay for racism and see how inhumane humanity truly is. In a safe imagined setting. If you weep for these characters maybe you will have more empathy for those living around you.

A ride I couldn't miss taking.

Revisado: 03-31-22

I really liked this series. I normally read more self help and educational books but saw the first book Wolf's Bane a few times and finally decided to read something light. I am so glad that I did!
This series deals with all kinds of topics and issues. I wasn't expecting the sex, Many of the characters remind me if people I know and the constant discussion of how society has taught women to feel shame for their sexuality instead of teaching males to be thoughtful, respectful and to always get consent was refreshing. Not done in a preachy way but in a let's shift our perspective way.
I have a lot to say about this series, I highly recommend it and am grateful for being able to adjust the speed. Not all of us have the privilege of living with shifters and having already overcome that female sexual shame, but this book and the two before it, have given me a new way to look at it and a chance to think about my relationship with sex in a whole new way.
Looking forward to the next installment of the Wolf's Run pack adventures!

Way better then I expected!

Revisado: 03-25-22

This book has everything. It was better than I expected it to be. I didn't know bout the tent romantic bits, I just knew it was about werewolves. I am going to read the next book now. I love how modern of a tale this is!

Musically delicious.

Revisado: 03-06-22

I really enjoyed this book as much as I did the first one. I will start the next book after this review is done. This book series deals with grief and how the main character is handling the loss of both parents, one to death the other abandonment. Wonderfully about coming of age at the same time as learning to trust oneself and the magic that lives i side of us all.

An entire university course in one enjoyable book.

Revisado: 01-31-22

I absolutely loved this book! I saw the series on Netflix and thought the book would contain the recipes, ordered the book and was rewarded with an education. Enjoyable from beginning to end, even when discussing difficult topics, the author's sense of paloma and decorum won out. I highly recommend this book to bayonet tht really desires to understand soul food and the history pertaining to the foods it contains.

All about loving your parents and yourself.

Revisado: 07-13-20

The ending of this book had me in tears. My Dad passed on and this had me in my feelings. My mother is fragile. I have allowed myself to be lost. This book is for every female (especially) that feels the call of the wind. For those with and adventuring spirit and a mind that stays ever curious.

Funny and entertaining!

Revisado: 06-23-20

I absolutely enjoyed this story and wished that it existed as an RPG. Straightforward and not complicated, easy to imagine and understand. An example of the indomitable hope of the human spirit coupled with love, friendship and respect. These are the things that make the world go around.
