Book Review of Brown Girl in the Ring

Brown Girl in the Ring
reviewed on + 134 more book reviews


I was looking forward to reading a Nalo Hopkinson book but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy this one. I felt little connection to any of the characters and while I enjoyed what there was of Afro-Caribbean myths and lore, I felt the plot of the story wasn't really strong enough to pull it together. That being said, I know this was her first novel, so I plan on reading a more recent book of hers. Her creativity and general writing style, as well as the uplifting ending, have me intrigued enough to give her another shot
