This book was a RIDE. I finished it this morning, and I've decided I am a big fan of Rivers Solomon's work. So interior, Black, and character driven, but they balance that with how the characters interact with their world, and it all just plays out so beautifully in the mind's eye. 4.5/5. #BookSky
Just started SORROWLAND by Rivers Solomon and am curious to see where it goes. Anyone read? #BookSky
