A review by jennrocca
The Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer
4.0
Originally, I was only going to give this three stars. Early on in the book the heavy handed environmental messages were annoying me. But, in the end, I loved the characters so much and I was so involved in what happened to them that I was too invested in the story to be bothered by any heavy handed message sending.
This sequel is more sci-fi-ish than "The House of Scorpion". The world is the same but we see more of the science and technology that is making the world work.
I'll recommend the sequel to anyone who liked the first book. If a third book comes out, I'll read that one too.
