Official Review: The Transitioners by Indigo Cox

I like that the book deals with issues of race, and hope that the author explored it sufficiently! I am certainly interested in picking this up, and thank you for your lovely review!

I read some of the other comments on this book before writing one to see if anyone else thought it was strange/slightly insulting for the superpower of the POC character to be appearing white, oops. I haven't read the book, though, so I trust your judgement more than I trust mine XD (And yes, it's saddening that there aren't more POC and women as main characters! I read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas recently, and it was such an eye-opener that I now find myself a lot more sensitive to representation in the book/movie/other media industry.)

While the plot seems interesting and I love that there's representation in this book, I must say that it's a little off-putting that there seem to be many grammar errors in it, oops.

Thank you so much for your detailed review, it was really helpful!

That is an intriguing premise. It makes me think of Mystique in the Mutant series. She changed her looks to be accepted also.

I love the idea of an African American superheroine and the way the author mocks the black/white dichotomy by temporarily giving Misty the power to change the color of her skin. Thanks for a very interesting review.

My curiosity is peeked, though I have a few concerns and questions about the concept, but I would definitely check it out just to find out the answers to my question. Thanks for a great review though.

There not a lot of books about African - American heroines I agree and her power of changing her skin color is cool.

As a middle school librarian I am always looking for good books with non-white protagonists, but based on the grammatical errors you mentioned I don't feel comfortable purchasing this for my library.
