Not that it’s required but I wish I had finished Redemptor before starting this. Still this is yet another incredible story by Jordan Ifueko. Her story telling is some of the best I’ve ever read and she creates incredible characters. I will ready anything she publishes. As for this book specifically I will be honest and admit I struggled a little with Sade and her relationship with the Crocodile. Sometimes it was confusing to me but going along with it made it very rewarding in the end. I think one of my favorite aspects of this book is the story is told of characters who are on the opposite end of the spectrum of the Raybearers. I really appreciated the discomfort we sit with and reflection it invites. Very well done once again!
