"you can't go wrong with a book dedicated to octavia butler. i'm in love. thank you public library book list for suggesting i read this author. it was like reading octavia butler without the melancholy. not only was it expertly written. everything was so neat. it encompassed so many of the things i love about science fiction and spirituality. you through a little afrocentricity and strong baptist women its like ambrosia for the mind. second favorite science fiction author of all time!!!!!!!"

    " I really enjoyed this book and hope to read the whole series before the next one comes out soon. After the first few chapters it was hard to put down. "

    " I would've given this book four stars except the end of the book was such a letdown. It was as if the writer suddenly ran out of ideas and suddenely after tons of tension and buildup, everything turned out fine in the story. It didn't gel very well at all. VERY DISAPPOINTING. "

    " Good story and I love the African Immortals series, but Due has the tendancy to make her female characters sound like whiny whimps. Jessica is grating on my last nerve, and now she's ruined Fana! I have to fight the urge to skip past pages with Jessica as the narrator. "

    " I didn't realize that this was book three of a series. It took a while to figure out what was going on in the story and the continual backstory feed killed the suspense. Maybe I'll start with book one. "

    " I can't say enough good things about Tananarive Due and this, her third book, that follows Jessica, her husband Dawit, and their 'interesting' blood line. This novel ties together a lot of the plot threads that were left open by her second book and had a much tighter storyline. "
