Wow! When I interviewed her I knew she had a fascinating mind and I had no idea how fascinating. This was a very multi-layered book. The combination between fantasy, destiny, and the segregation was beautiful. I love the use of “the saints” hands and what that meant for different characters in the book. Each character had an unique talent or purpose. I felt that none of characters were playing supporting roles. They all were show stoppers.
