I was really looking forward to reading this book and I was NOT disappointed. This is the follow up to her earlier book, “The Sparrow.” While I sometimes got frustrated with that book I never did with this book. It goes more deeply into the characters, both human and “alien”. The culture is much more prevalent that in the first book as well. I am very pleased with this book.

Great follow-up to The Sparrow.

An imaginative, quirkily humorous novel featuring a priest named Emilio Sandoz, whose quest to demystify God's providence leads him to question the possibility of faith.

The sequel to "The Sparrow", this novel clarified many questions for the first book. Well written, well done, and really different. I am not typically a fan of Science Fiction, but I loved it. Read "The Sparrow" first.
This is a satisfying sequel to *The Sparrow,* with disabilities, politics, anthropology, revolution, art and music, technology, war, parenthood, faith, and even the Mafia thrown in -- oh, and a lot of it on another planet. A couple of characters do unlooked-for things, but so do real people. Well done.
I didn't finish this. I really liked The Sparrow, but found this sequel less interesting. It focused more on the aliens from the Sparrow, and I couldn't really bring myself to care about them.
It was a pretty good read overall and definitely provided a nice level of closure to the previous book although I think I enjoyed the first one better.
