This is one of my favourites of the series so far, and the one that has convinced me I need to own these books. (I've been getting them, one at a time, from the library). There is so much going on and I want to go back to the earlier ones to check my recollection, as characters who were minor return to play a bigger role, and major characters reveal more and more history and connections. This was a good one. And I can't wait to read the next one. I will be sad to finish it all, but am quite clear I'll be re-reading.

I couldn’t put this book down. The author crafted a masterful story. Not only were the characters unique (some of the most unique I have read), but I was blown away time and time again by their fresh perspective. You “see” the world through the character’s eyes to the point I would read a description and immediately know that yes, I have seen that. The metaphors for the setting, similes between characters, it painted a beautiful picture with the words and was one reason I couldn’t stay away from the pages. Aside from the stand-out word painting, the storyline kept it grounded. It’s a unique setting amongst a religious “cult” that isn’t really talked about— and is too in-depth to go into in a short review. Let me say this: there is a slight element of suspense, the details behind Miranda’s past and why it brought her to this moment kept me flipping fast with no idea what the next page held. The children and their love coupled with Jack’s devotion add spice to the story. Humor relives pressure several times and I laughed and shared lines aloud with family on more than one occasion. There is really one word for this book: unique and un-put-down-able. Okay that’s two. Yes, it was THAT good. This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
