I feel like this was very personal for the author. It was a medium to work through their trauma of racism, homophobia, and religious bigotry. I don’t know details about Harriet Tubman and quakers, etc, so I won’t comment on the historical accuracy. Someone did say there some inaccuracies though.

The fact that I literally cannot relate to this in any capacity didn’t necessarily marr my experience, but also didn’t learn as much as I thought I would.

People don’t seem to like Bob’s narration, but I had to no problem. I’m not familiar with him and don’t really listen to audiobooks all that much, so this was fine.

There was repeated mention of kinship, we’re a family, I felt like they were my family, etc etc that got a bit too repetitive for me. The writing was okay. I works better for audio. There was a juxtaposition between serious and frivolous, that at times, felt a jarring.

The concept of historical figures coming back was very interesting. I would’ve liked to know more about this world. But since book is mostly focused on Harriet Tubman, I guess that’s not a possibility.

The way Harriet Tubman, and the other were characterized was very interesting. I would expect her to be so headstrong.

There were two songs in the audiobook, which I thought was a very unique decision. I really liked the verses.

Bottomline: Expounds on topics deeply personal to the author, such as racism, homophobia, and religious bigotry. The writing was mediocre. Characterization was nice, very modern but apt.
