I was really looking forward to reading this book and I was NOT disappointed. This is the follow up to her earlier book, âThe Sparrow.â While I sometimes got frustrated with that book I never did with this book. It goes more deeply into the characters, both human and âalienâ. 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.
Wonderful, wonderful book! It stretched my mind in so many ways. I guess I'd call it a sci-fi novel with heart and with religious tones.
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.
I loved this sequel to The Sparrow. I didn't want it to end....
excellent sequel, don't read unless you read the first "the Sparrow".
If you have been taught by Jesuits, even if you are no longer religious, an especially interesting pair of novels.
And Great SF too!

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.
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.
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.
You must read the Sparrow first, fantastic story, you can't put down.
