Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Holness' strong sequel addresses heavy themes, including choices, forgiveness, death, and right vs. wrong, with depth and nuance. The richness of the worldbuilding welcomes returning fans like old friends, building upon the series opener as it infuses the magic and folklore of Caribbean culture into the story. . . Emotionally resonant and satisfying fun." --Kirkus Reviews
