I really liked the way he wrestled with how to use his abilities and how to respond to the prejudice he faced. ![]() We got to see some of the clashes in leadership, and we learned more about the history behind some of the relationships– and some of the rifts in relationships– on the island, too. We get a lot more of the politics and structure of the island in this book, too, which was really cool. I thought the conflicts between them and the ways they navigated them were true to their characters and made sense. The characters and their friendships, which was one of my favorite parts of the first book, are still strong and still drew me into the story. I think I might have liked this book even better than the first one? I think the writing is stronger in this one, which makes sense. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though they’re not the vacationing types, Russell is looking forward to a change of focus-not to mention a chance to travel to a location Holmes has not visited before.

There are too many convoluted metaphors tangled in their own imagery. The same layered detailing is applied to the characters’ emotional and spiritual lives – memories and magic, visions and voices thicken their experiences, and make his storytelling ripe and heady. Jones has a knack for a proverb-like turn of phrase and his descriptions have a rich, distinctive vividness. It certainly asks that the reader bear witness to things they might rather turn away from – but it is a fine piece of fiction, too. He writes that The Prophets is perhaps more 'a witnessing' than a book. Jones’s writing style is lyrical, but he doesn’t shy away from the gut-churning horrors of slavery. The novel names chapters after books of the Bible, but what really frames it are poetic sections written in the mysterious, eternal voices of seven ancestors, speaking out from the darkness. an outstanding novel, delivering tender, close-up intimacy, but also a great sweep of history. ![]() ![]() The idea Young presented seemed to be saying that an insider perspective was always superior.

Is it more painful to be beaten two years in a row in the final of the Grand Prix d’Angoulême, the most prestigious award in comics? “I arrived in the second round, already I find it extraordinary!
