Goblin reviewed Lote by Shola von Reinhold
resistance through aesthetics
5 stars
It's about being black and queer, it's about aesthetics and adornment as a kind of spirituality, it's about escape and creation/reinvention of oneself, it's about reclaiming history, it's weird and hard to describe.
Felt nearly perfect. The only thing I can find to fault is not having nearly enough descriptions of Mathilda's outfits. Mathilda must have a fabulous fashion sense and there's a part of me with a burning need to know what she is wearing at all times.
