★★★★☆ Solid, with a few slow patches
Strong voice and great atmosphere, though the middle drags a little. Still glad I read it.
Dana K. · Aug 11, 2026 · Verified buyer★★★★☆ Good, not great
Enjoyable and well written. Not quite what I expected from the description, but I'd read more by Imani Hale.
Helen W. · Jul 8, 2026 · Verified buyer★★★★☆ Worth every page
A thoughtful, well-crafted audiobook. The last third is the best thing I've read this year.
