When the Reckoning Comes

this book had a lot going for it. it's commentary on external and internalized racism and the weight of history was so incisive. but the actual plot and characters ended up falling flat for me. i thought there was going to be a much more explosive ending to make up for the pretty slow beginning, but we never really got there and by the end i felt very unsatisfied. i understand what the story was going for, but i also had a hard time staying engaged with the writing style for some reason. i can say that perhaps i was looking for something other than what the story was saying.
