Thomas is able to weave teenage angst, gang violence, gender relations in rap, negative Black stereotypes, loss, and drug addiction all into one amazing novel.Īs someone who grew up in Australia, the kind of neighbourhood relations that Thomas touches on throughout her novel are hard for me to personally relate to. Yet this story is more than just a rising-star coming of age novel. It follows a Black teenager called Bri, who has a dream of becoming a rapper. On The Come Up is set in the same neighbourhood as Thomas’ first novel, Garden Heights (or simply called The Garden), and even makes reference to the first novel. I honestly didn’t know how Thomas’ was going to top it, yet she is a woman who has something to say and has an amazing way of saying it. ![]() With that kind of first-time success, producing a second novel might seem daunting.

Here Kaye reconnects with her childhood BFF Janet and, not fully aware of what she’s doing, ends up casting a spell on her boyfriend. After spending the last years on the road, sixteen-year-old Kaye and her mum, who is in a punk-rock band, return to her grandmother’s home in New Jersey. Black’s faeries are beautiful, cunning, and cruel, not to be messed with, and her lead character, Kaye, is delightfully gritty. It has this late 90s/early 2000s grunge aesthetic that works really well with the faerie world Black has created. Black has definitely honed her writing skills since writing this, and if we compare Tithe to her Folk of the Air trilogy, well it does seem a bit less ‘sophisticated’…but maybe that’s the reason why I like it so much. While I now recognize that its plot, language, and secondary characters could have been more complex, I still find that it makes for an engrossing read. I first read Tithe back in 2007 when I was 11 and it completely blew my mind.
