I received this book from Rose’s Book Snobs in exchange for an honest reviewThe Messenger is the story of Sammael’s lost memory.  Sammael is drawn to Albany, Georgia, to see the Reverend and hear is message.  While there, he meets Delilah, a young woman that follows the Reverend.  This story is set in the ‘60’s and touches on the hardships of segregation.  It also follows Sammael’s relationship with Delilah.This was a good short story and prequel to Glory.  I enjoyed the interactions between the characters.  I could understand Sammael’s frustration with the Father.  He didn’t understand why he was created the way he was.  I also found him to be stubborn.  I was happy when he decided to try to have a relationship with Delilah.  I was heartbroken by Delilah’s back story and how her mother died.  I’m definitely intrigued and can’t wait to read more by this author.
