Hook, line, and sinker. I will be finding both books to blaze through hopeful of a next. Can't wait! Sounds really interesting. Thank you for your review.

I'm usually not a fan of books that make a habit of skipping through time. Flashbacks can be amazing when incorporated properly into a narrative, but I find that too many authors abuse the mechanic. The fact that the time skips are described as dizzying is worrisome, but the actual plot and story seem so intriguing. I'm a bit on the fence with this series, but you may have won me over with this favorable review.

It was pretty confusing at first - in the first book, but by the second book, I was totally lost in the story!

I enjoyed reading your review! At first, the series didn't seem like it would be something I would like, but you made it sound so interesting. I love your line that the book is a "happy mix of description and narrative." I am gong to take a look at the sample of the first book in the series.

It is nice to read another's review as it gives an opportunity to find out about books you do not have the time to read. Thank you for the information on this one. It sounds like two very good books.

"Black is beauty". Is it only me who knows this? Of course, there are many people who believe in this.
English department taught me alot about culture. And most importantly, it engraved in me the idea of thinking twice of things. I rememeber during my master studies used to hear frequenctly that studing English leads necessarily to studing Cutlure. I was to hear (read) the same idea when I was reading Terry Eagleton's Literary Thoery. Roughly speaking, Reading English now, I feel, is reading it from a cultural point of view. In fact, as an engaged reader, I am supposed to shed light on issues have to slip through under the pretext of good English.
Black is beauty was a challenge for many postcolonialism scholars. It was a challenge not for them to accept but for them to make it accepted. And that would bring to existence the movement of "Black is Beautiful". In what way,should we, scholars, they wonder, present the idea? It was so simple; "black" should not be regarded as an evil. Doing this, we cut ourselves short. Talk to Oprah' whose performance in "The Color Purple" was motivated primarily by this idea and the sort. Oprah would have a view upon the choice of word black in whatever instances of her life, let alone to have it in a book she would write.
My point is: The soul has some bad side within. We all day along do things that might matter bad and good. Every day, we mirror our souls. Those mirros of our souls are bad and good; still it is up to the other to judge. I do all day bad things. As a consequence, I am thinking earnestly to write a book about those bad things of my sould. And, I will entitle the book "The Mirrors of the Soul".

This sounds like a really good book! I will have to grab the first book!

I think I'm gonna love this book that black is beautiful. Sounds like a race or a particular person. In today's world it doesn't matter your black, white or whatever color you may have the important is your beautiful inside and out.
