Amazing subject matter, well-handled and excellent characterisation May be a little long for some - but I didn't want it to end.

Absorbing book, draws you in, beautifully written, journey with the characters Harrowing at times

Great characters, hooks you right in, enjoyable from start to finish Not enough twists and turns for some, not always correct useage of english language

Historical details, clever method of narration Poorly developed, can be patronising

Well written, heart-wrenching - profound racial messages... Doesn't have as much impact as first in the series.

Chewy moral dilemma, great characters, good pace, fab read! Silly coincidence of 2 ex lovers meeting up in the book's court case
