Well... I'm loving this book!! I can't believe I'm not finished with my review up already, but I ran into one of those headaches that stop all sorts of planned progress. Today is my first pain-free moment and I'm skipping around getting mountains of cleaning and errands done that have been gaping at me this week.

I'm only 6 chptrs in, but I'm loving it. Just as you say, the world-building is so organic, I love how two opposites of food are playing against each other and the narrator keeps catching me off guard so that I snort out loud. Too fun.

I'll link back when I get my review up.

Ugh, I hate those type of headaches! No fun at all!

Be sure to check back in once you're finished with the book!

Phew!! :-) I hate headaches... they catch me off guard and back me up something awful.

I loved this book, though!!!!! Wow! I wrote up my review and linked back to yours... and wondered about that Trickster.

I agree with the comment about not feeling connected with the characters, but I thought the familiarity of the narrator more than made up for it.

Her website is discussing Caribbean Speculative Literature - which really makes me think how this book is very exotic culturally, but it really isn't obvious WHERE. At all. Which makes this discussion even more interesting.
