Review of The Black God's Drums P. Djèlì Clark

My Rating: 4.75 Stars

CW: blood, death, death of a parent, poverty, racism and slavery, set in a world with the Confederacy.

Ohhhh myyy goooodddd I love this book! P. Djèlì Clark is so good at steampunk. He writes believable women characters and doesn’t make queer women a sexualized thing. Creeper is a believable teen girl and Ann-Marie is equally complex and multifaceted.

Clark is one man I actually like reading queer women from.

Creeper and AM’s relationship was so sweet, and Féral is iconic.
