I read this right after The Fifth Sacred Thing. There's still a significant gap of time between the two story lines. I wonder if a third book will ever happen. (Maybe after the movie of The Fifth Sacred Thing comes out.) I enjoyed this one, too.

better than the first one because there were no bees

that was going to be my entire review but i just want to say. i like this better as a standalone. mentally i had completely disconnected this from its sequel book and i think it's a better read that way.also: no bees

A good background peek into the characters of the "Fifth Sacred Thing" trilogy.

As one might imagine, feels very dated at this point. Looking forward to City of Refuge to see how the 3 books rest as a trilogy. Regardless, thankful for Starhawk’s wisdom- in this book however, it’s bit a choppy.

I love this whole series, but this one really speaks to how Maya, Joanna, Rio and Rachel got to achieving the spectacular version of San Francisco in 2048 in Fifth Sacred Thing.

I really enjoyed this book. Due to the fictional nature of the story, and the fact the MC is on the way to becoming more enlightened and more whole, I struggled sometimes trying to determine what was a genuine spiritual insight and what was the character not-quite-grasping something. I should probably read the book this is a prequel to, so I can see where all this leads.

Really identified with this character and story and the essence of her inner journey. Beautifully written, I was done before I knew it.

my sister asked me to read this. The protagonist is forever searching and never finding because she is never satisfied. Peopled with flawed and real characters, unfortunately many of them are unlikeable. I was most interested in the philosophy.
