The Goddess Twins by Yodassa Williams made me feel like I was on a mission with my own sister and cousins, and it was AMAZING. Reminiscent of Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis series, Yodassa remembers that although imitation is the greatest form of flattery, expansion is the greatest form of thanks. The author creates a world where the Black women of a particular family are born with superpowers, but are forced to fight an evil that grew from within their own ranks. Delightfully deviod of magic, these wonderful ladies rely on the powers that they naturally have and stand by each other through everything. We spend the entire book in the minds of Arden and Aurora and there could be no better perspectives to have. Not a long read, my only regret is that we must wait for the sequel that is surely coming.
