The Weight of Blood par Tiffany D Jackson
Not sure if this is a spoiler, but it felt obvious - This is a retelling of Carrie from the black American perspective. I thought it was very well done and would rate it 5 stars, except there was something missing for me that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe it felt too predictable, being a retelling. However there are enough differences from the source material to make it a new experience.
I spent like 15 minutes crafting a review that Goodreads deleted when I tried to post. The main points are: interesting concepts & updates to Carrie! But the oomph of the ending was undercut by the romance plot and ultimately fell flat. Also, when read directly after Carrie, the "YA"-ness of the writing bothered me a lot more than I think it would've otherwise.
Spooky and well-paced, with some interesting commentary on gentrification that played into the mystery. Ending was a bit abrupt for me, since I wanted to see the foundation's dastardly plan get uncovered. And is Buddy okay?? Did Erika get sentenced? Will their mom get a divorce like seriously what is the appeal of this guy but the main mystery was wrapped up in an interesting way, and the characters felt very real to me. Would recommend for horror/thriller readers!
After reading the YA anthology Blackout by the same group of authors, I thought I'd try Whiteout.
This one takes place in Atlanta during a snowstorm. The stories in this one seem to coalesce better than the ones in Blackout; all the couples, while working out there own issues, are working towards one common goal: to help Stevie win back Sola.
I didn't really warm up to the Stevie character: they did in fact come across as a bit cold.
Maybe these stories would ring truer to a YA audience, but I just kept thinking: so much drama over such small problems! Just talk it out, people! Communicate!
Once again, I liked the LGBTQ representation and all of the allies in all generations. There is also Muslim representation, at Christmastime no less.… (plus d'informations)
