![]() ![]() ![]() A Chorus Rises is a story focused on Naema’s journey. ![]() There were also a few plot points with side characters I would have liked more resolution for at the end. At around 20% there were all these new layers added that I was looking forward to wrapping up, but I just wished there had been a little more space. While I loved watching Naema’s story, I felt that the ending was wrapped up a bit too hastily, especially considering the lead up. All these elements, and pieces of Naema’s identity play off each other as she struggles to get a handle on the story and world around her. How the perspectives of who is right and who is heard shifts with the wind. We all want to be the hero of our own story, to see our version of reality, and so having our voice ignored, especially after having a voice, changes Naema’s world.Ī Chorus Rises made me question internet fame and support. The ways that misrepresentation and a lack of voice can change our story. Her role in the magical community, and as a black girl, casts shadows on her life. A Chorus Rises explores the images and identity of Naema. On apologies that go unheard and ‘villains’ that are created. ![]() Reading Naema’s POV was an examination of how quickly the world can turn on us. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. ![]()
