"MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A heist is central to the plot, but the objective isn’t wealth or glory by the end, the goal is saving the people who are in the thick of this world with them, facing the same prejudice and discrimination, no matter how rich or poor.īrightly painted with hues and shades of magic, set against a backdrop of jazz music and drag balls, Penelope has taken a specific historical place and moment and made them feel vibrantly alive. It’s the idea of building community-and the power of that same community to help a person know exactly who they are-that drives the book’s larger narrative forward. While racial injustice is never far distant from the story, that’s not the point of the story. Leslye Penelope sets her story in 1920s Washington D.C., an era of thriving creativity within the African American community.

Make some time for it, not only it’s a brilliant trilogy, but you’ll also be doing a huge disservice to the book and most of all your reading experience if you don’t do it.

Reading A Little Hatred without knowledge of the previous books would be a similar experience to reading Pierce Brown’s Iron Gold without reading his previous three books or reading Robin Hobb’s Tawny Man trilogy without reading Farseer trilogy first. Let me begin by saying that although this is a new series in the First Law World and you can technically start your journey into this world here, it’s quite mandatory to read at least The First Law trilogy in order to fully appreciate the intricacies of this book even better if you’ve also read Best Served Cold and The Heroes.
