KnitAFett reviewed And So I Roar by Abi Daré (Adunni, #2)
3.5 Rounded down

I was really excited to see that we were going to get a continuation of Adunni's story after loving The Girl with the Louding Voice so much. Unfortunately, this one just fell a little flat and required a little more suspending of reality to make it to the end.

Once Tia and Adunni's stories finally intersect again, the plot takes off and everything starts to happen in quick succession which caused it to feel rushed. I still was glad to find out why it is that Tia attatched herself to Adunni so quickly and readily, and it was a good idea to not have Adunni just have a happily ever after with a murder "charge" hanging over her head for her whole life. It was just too much of a slow burn because of the chapter timing.
