This book is all over the place. That doesn’t make it bad it just makes it a little hard to follow. I am glad I did not have to wait a super long time between reading book one and book two because I would have been lost. Part of the thing that gets you lost is the time periods and the various dates. There are also multiple storylines and they’re all going to come together. Quick reminder bitterroot is the formula or the medicine to charge to Jingou back in to a human. A jingou is a person so full of hate that they become a monster, usually white people and their hatred and aggression towards Black people. This book takes place in Harlem, and in Tulsa during the massacre, and in Georgia where race problems were rampant. However, in book 2 we are introduced to a new type of monster made of grief. Just like the first book I do really like this book but don’t quite love it. The only reason I don’t love it if I’m still trying to figure out where the story is going. In the story a hole between heaven and hell (purgatory with a different name). A monster/demon full of evil has come through trying to wreak havoc. As far as I know there’s only one more book so we’ll see how it concludes and hopefully it wraps up with an understandable finish. ( )

The writing in the main feature improves as the storyline for season one concludes, but I'm still slightly more interested in the articles, reviews, and interviews included in the back of the book. ( )
