Dawnie Walton’s THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV continues to receive glowing praise ahead of its release. In a starred review, Booklist calls the novel “[a] cinematic, stereophonic, and boldly imagined story of race, gender, and agency in art.” Kirkus calls the book "[a]n intelligently executed love letter to Black female empowerment and the world of rock music." BookPage notes that “Walton’s going to be big, no question” on its “Writers to Watch: 10 Women on the Rise,” and Ms. Magazine features the book on its “Most Anticipated Reads for the Rest of US 2021.” 37 Ink published the book on March 30, 2021.
