Good start, obvious finish.
I listen to audio books at work and I am determined to listen everything by a Black Author. So searching for Black Sci-Fi on Libby Slay came up.
Now, I knew from the title that it would be heavy on "girl power" but it started off very nice even if ridiculous (a 17 y/o girl built a virtual reality mmorpg all by herself? Lol Riiiight) but I loved the concept. It gave hints of "Black Folks cant have nothing" with a strong dose of "Black excellence". This is where the good end and misandrist, Black middle classed yearning for acceptance begins.
In all, you walk away feeling like racism is a thing of the past and all the problems if the Black race now come from young Black men.
I started this review a 3 star rating but remembering details and the agenda of the book necessitates a 2 star rating.
