Nina’s Reviews > Book of Addis: Cradled Embers > Status Update

I finished this book yesterday. I'm writing a thorough review for an outlet but for now, I'll say this is a good book. I think the disconnect I experienced was a consequence of the fact that I read a digital version (not my preference) and I read while in a completely different environment from which I usually do (immersed in a highly social residency).

I'll update when the review runs.

Though the central character is a 17 year old girl who commits a heroic act, the book really shows us how dynamic resistance was during slavery. Small and large acts all towards freedom.

I've been taking a lot of risks, reading books I normally wouldn't for the sake of reviewing them. So far, I'm pleased with taking that risk on this one.
