i really really enjoyed this book
i think the ending and milkman realizing what he did wrong and kind of living with his consequences was amazing
i absolutely loved Pilate and Reba.
i also loved how morrison didnt make milkman or anyone out to be good or morally sound, it was about the growth of a character but it wasnt preachy, i really loved that

i loved how the the story was set up, that it was like his father was truly telling the story and there were more moments of the family being a family and dealing with the aftermath. ive read holocaust stories before and theyve never really touched on the after math of the story or what it was like when the survivors were older or how their families dealt with it. its interesting to that side

honestly as much as i fell asleep while reading this, i actually liked it a lot
i thought the plot and the motives and the characters were really wel developed and thought through
and even tho book sixth was not intended i think it tied the end of the book up well
i liked that hardy didnt make the ending super happy as i thought he would have, it was nice

i read this before looking at the reviews and had no idea that there was reverse racism or antisemitic ideas in it, so i had idea going into that. i did enjoy it a lot when i first read it but now im second guessing it. im trying to be discerning while reading books and face my own inner thoughts as a white person and im trying to analyze things and see where people are coming from, but i honestly did not pick up on any of it until i read the reviews and thats odd to me

but i did genuinely enjoy it a lot and thought the romance and the themes of power and abuse and community were really well done. and it did seem like a lot of thought went into the book. i could relate a lot galen too
but its conflicting to see the reviews but yeah i just wanted to put it out there
