This book started off really strong and had my full attention. We follow a mother, Santie, and her daughter Ady during slavery and their journey through everything that came with that time. Once Ady gets separated from her mother and ends up at the Mockingjay Inn, I thought the story was about to dive deeper into the secret society, the spying missions, and all the historical drama.
We do get some of that, but not until the last few chapters. Most of the story focuses more on Ady’s friendships and romantic relationships. Nothing wrong with that, but I was hoping for more of the historical side.
I liked it and the beginning really pulled me in, but it didn’t fully give what I expected.
