- As someone who knew very little about Touissant Louverature beyond that he led the slave rebellion in Haiti, this book was an incredible way to learn more. I found myself stopping and googling different things while reading, because this story ties into so many different aspects of history.
- by the time I finished this book, I was furious that I hadn’t learned more about it in school! The connections to the US and the colonial empires in Europe were so important, it’s frustrating that this seems so specifically minimized.
- the drawing style was incredible. The way it conveyed emotion was incredible. While it did make parts hard to read/follow at times, it was worth it for the feelings it conveyed.
- I had a little trouble keeping track of the cast of characters, so I really appreciated the character guide at the beginning.
