The story was extremely interesting. I enjoyed reading and learning about the different Orisha's, spirits, gods, etc. I did get confused a bit, but I think that was due to me listening to the audio book and not having a physical book to reference when I was confusing the different dieties. I feel that the character of Arrah was missing something. I didn't connect with her as much as I would have liked to, but I got to know her throughout the book. The twists and turns in this story made it so good! I did enjoy this, but I don't know if I'd read the next one.
