Some of the POC characters make jokes at the expense of the racism that they encounter, which was great to read about. I enjoyed a lot of the humour that was sprinkled through the book. ![]() ![]() Colorism and racism play a distinct role in some of the scenes. The main character is multiracial Afro-Latina (I hope that I understood the text correctly). This book is not only diverse in terms of people of colour but also has a lesbian couple as minor characters, and a character that has poor vision (uses contact lenses). I found the combination of art with fantasy fascinating – especially the connection to tattoos. The world-building in this story is amazing. It’s #ownvoices.īy the way, the publisher is called JABberwocky Literary Agency, which is like the best name for a publisher that I’ve ever heard of! ![]() This book is the first of a trilogy, with the second book set to be published in late 2017, and the third in 2018. I was interested in reading an urban fantasy based in the U.S. Shadowshaper landed on my TBR as I’d seen it in various reviews. In her afro, one can see illustrations of faces, hands, buildings and a dragon. ![]()
