The title alone sparked my interest in the book. Though when I saw that the setting was enslavement I hesitated. However, I was soon drawn in by character development and story. Hester and Gaelin--wow. What a match.
The narration was well done, both English and French. Though I don't speak French, it sounded good to my ears.
As always, the history woven into the story made it a strong one. i think that with this book more than the other Beverly Jenkins books I have read, there was an almost constant anticipation as to where and how the story would turn, as slavery was fraught with the unknown. May we never return to such times. May all, all over the world, know freedom, for highest good.

Loved the setting, and the emphasis on family and community. Of course, the historical references were nicely woven into the story.

This book covered a lot of ground. As a spiritual person, I appreciated the positive nods to paganism with its truth that love of God is heart rather than religion based.
I thought the ending was a tad on the pessimistic side. However, putting pure love at the center of our thoughts and actions in order to merge, again, with our Creator/Creatress was the overall take away for me. Worth reading.

It was the end of the story that made it plausible. i liked that the main female character was intelligent and the sex language and references were not over done.

There was at one point what sounded like southern accents amongst the male characters where none existed before, which I thought was weird.

Good listen overall.

The plot thickened. There were surprises and strangeness. In the midst of this work of science fiction was a beautiful love story. Observation: The word taciturn was used often, but appropriately.
Looking forward to continuation of this series.

I like the themes of having and dealing with mental and physical health issues and still finding love. However, the gratuitous profanity spoiled the stories for me. Skipped Danai.

Andrea Vernon and the Superhero Industrial Complex made me happier than a pigeon eating a French fry. The humor, the quirky characters and their development, the sarcasm, the plot twists all made for an enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed Bahni Turpin's narration. So many characters, yet she was able to voice them uniquely (I'm sure Rosie Perez was one study, and Turpin's Nevermore interpretation was inspired).

I have a habit of reading a serious tome and lighter subject matter concurrently. The Alexander Cane books balance perfectly.

A great read. It wasn't what I was expecting in this time-travel story which turned out to be a good thing. Very thoughtful messages about what it means to be human--and humane.
