Children of God by Mary Doria Russell
Sep. 25th, 2007 07:35 amSince I talked about The Sparrow, I thought I should talk about the sequel too.
First, the short, spoiler-free version: I didn't feel betrayed by Children of God the way I did the first time I read it, but it's not anywhere near as strong a book as The Sparrow, and I still think it takes away some of the impact of the first book.
The Sparrow went back on the shelf. I kept thinking I would put Children of God in my give away stack, but now that I've flipped through it looking for the quote below, I feel compelled to keep it.
The rest of this post contains serious spoilers for Children of God. Knowing them may ruin the impact of The Sparrow for you. Think carefully before you read further.
