Oddly enough, I actually read this novel before I read Ayiti and Ayiti Continued. You can do the same but I HIGHLY recommend that you start with Ayiti and Ayiti Continued. You'll probably read all three of these books within a week. They go by that quickly. I loved reading from Jude's perspective. I'm so glad Vacirca decided to write his side of the story because it gave the entire story a fuller perspective. I enjoyed reading about the tension between him and his mother. To be honest, there were times when both his parents got on my nerves (and this is coming from a Nigerian American with parents straight from Nigeria). I know black parents don't play - especially African parents - but sometimes his parents were too much for me. All the same, I appreciated his family and how they shaped him and I loved how much he loved Ayiti. The moment when he first lays eyes on her almost had me tearing up.The way that he processes things and takes situations in as a mature believer, left me yearning for a deeper relationship with Christ - when I wasn't yearning for the character to be mine for real ;)As usual, I recommend this novel and every other one associated with this series. You will not regret getting it. I look forward to the next installment.
