All in all this is a great story. The author was able to create and maintain a crazy new world that does not meet the rules and regulations of today. The story has a well developed and well thought out theme. I would have given the book more stars but there were a few little details that the author threw in there (to make the writing easier, I guess) which ruined the hard work that she had put in to create and tell this story in the first place. I must say that even with the little glitches I was completely captivated and read the book at every opportunity, including while walking my dog. I have very high hopes for the next two books in the series and for this author as she develops her writing style.

I've had this book for a while on my bookshelf, and finally, thanks to a book club, I took the opportunity to finally read it. It's been a process, but I'm very much blown away. Antjie Krog takes me to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in South Africa and shares intimate details of testimonies and reactions of South African's horrid stories of what they face under apartheid. Krog writes this book in 1998, just when the TRC is ending, so everything is fresh and in her moment, does not know the impact that the TRC will take in future years. It is a non-fiction book, but Krog has done a remarkable job of making it so easy to digest, as she makes us go between the testimonies and her routines as one of the journalists who followed the TRC. She gives her personal response to these stories and how others reacted as well. She is Afrikaner, so she is dealing with her own process of how to grasp the crimes her own race has committed, as well as what does this mean as South African is now entering its own post-apartheid stage. It's an amazing book, in which you will not want to stop reading. Yes, there are some very tough testimonies to get through, so tough that you will numb yourself for not wanting to take in the horrendous truth. Krog balances it well though, so that we're not bombarded with testimony after testimony. In fact we learn more about the Commission itself, led by Desmond Tutu (who is an unbelievably beautiful person, who I'm SO HAPPY that I had a chance to hear him talk when he came to San Francisco years ago) and the process to getting the Commission together, so that it has representatives of all groups in South Africa (there are 11 official languages). It was done so effectively that to a reader like me, I couldn't stop reading it until the very last page. TRC in South Africa was unique because the hearings were public and politicians got involved in submissions of testimonies. It gets very interesting when politicians from African National Congress (ANC) Party start submitting testimonies and Winnie Madikisela-Mandela is brought to TRC, as she's accused for being responsible for multiple killings of black youth under apartheid. - The book is incredible and truly a high recommendation!

A delightful, lovely piece of historical fiction featuring touches of Jane Austen but with a sensibility all its own. I highly recommend.

I've wanted to read the Wake trilogy for a while and I finally borrowed it from the library. I'm glad I did too. It's a great book, really original. I can't wait to read the other two books.

I must say that the series is heating up, and I am not sure I can wait much longer for the 5th one: A Dangerous Path. Really great, but I am scared that the new prophecy won't hold up to the first one. Again I will have to just wait and see. So far this is probably my favorite one, or Fire and Ice. Maybe just because I love Sandstorm ; )

May contain Spoilers!!!! I really enjoyed this book. It is the first time in along time that I have been completly lost in the love triangle. I still can not tell you who I want Tessa to be with. It is not fair for her to be in the middle of two equally great men. I am leaning towards one, but I think as the characters hearts break, so will my own. This book had it all. I can't wait for the next one!
