My Review
I received a free
copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Imagine being able to
see spirits, seeing someone’s past or present by just touching them. That is what life is like for Ayira. Being the daughter of a witch doctor is
difficult enough without special gifts, gifts she considers a curse. When she’s taken onto a slavery ship, she’s
tormented by what she sees, hears, and feels, she then gets rescued by a Native
tribe, and has to come to terms with who she is in order to save the Native
American people. This was a pretty good
story although I wish it was longer with more background on Ayira’s family
dynamics and how she ended up on the slave ship to begin with. The characters were interesting, although
none of her fellow slaves has much compassion for her except Imani, which I
found rather surprising.
