I really liked Rosewater, but I read it almost two years ago and didn't remember much of it. I was looking forward to this second book in the Wormwood trilogy because what I did remember liking was the interesting plot, the great prose, and the Afro-futurist setting. Unfortunately, this book felt like one big mess. It was told from mostly four character's points of view, with a sprinkling of chapters from other characters POV. There were multiple plot lines with multiple voices that all sounded pretty similar and it left me confused and uninterested. By the time I got to the end, I didn't care what was going on. This book has gotten a lot of love from the different book review sites I keep up with, so I know my opinion won't be popular. So take this review with a grain of salt if you're one of the lovers.
