Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-20 00:00:00 Barnypok Parbbkxwmuzlsxgpmta I first read an excerpt in the Reading the Bones anthology edited by Sheree Renee Thomas and was very intrigued, so I wanted to read the full work. I don't know what to make of this book. Hairston doesn't outright explain how the world works. The reader gets the lay of the land and the history of this world as the book progresses. I had difficulty keeping track of characters and locations. There's commentary on Hollywood/entertainment, singing as time travel, and clashes between tradition and modernity. Mindscape ultimately felt like a bundle of cool ideas that wasn't quite cohesive, fragmented like a post-Barrier world.
