Wings of Ebony turns into a fight for existence. Us versus them morphs into a magical ethical issue similar to one in “Black Panther” where Rue wonders why magic, for its immense power, couldn’t be used for good to help humans. To her trying to do what is right in a society where disobedience results in death. Most magic users have such disdain for humans, that we immediately relate to Rue’s love of her family. It almost feels dystopian in the ways that their society functions, and what lies at the root of their foundation. When Rue leaves East Row, she becomes immersed in a world of castes, magic, and order – people who don’t question. Wings of Ebony immediately begins by asking what we will do for family. What I loved about Wings of Ebony is Rue’s character, loyalty, and love for her sister. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley.

Rue must embrace her true identity and wield the full magnitude of her ancestors’ power to save her neighborhood before the gods burn it to the ground. Worse still, evidence mounts that the evil plaguing East Row is the same one that lurks in Ghizon-an evil that will stop at nothing until it has stolen everything from her and everyone she loves. And her sister, Tasha, is in danger of falling sway to the very forces that claimed their mother’s life. Miserable and desperate to see her sister on the anniversary of their mother’s death, Rue breaks Ghizon’s sacred Do Not Leave Law and returns to Houston, only to discover that Black kids are being forced into crime and violence. Rue is the only half-god, half-human there, where leaders protect their magical powers at all costs and thrive on human suffering. Rue’s taken from her neighborhood by the father she never knew, forced to leave her little sister behind, and whisked away to Ghizon-a hidden island of magic wielders. But when her mother is shot dead on her doorstep, life for her and her younger sister changes forever. “Make a way out of no way” is just the way of life for Rue. I’ve been looking forward to this book for months now and when I was finally approved on Netgalley I immediately started reading!
