Meridian Sozu is a Fenestra—the half-human, half-angel link between the living and the dead. She has the dark responsibility of helping souls transition safely into the afterlife. If people die without the help of a Fenestra, their souls are left vulnerable to be stolen by the Aternocti, a dark band of forces who disrupt the balance of good and evil in the world and cause chaos.
Having recently lost her beloved Auntie—the woman who showed her what it meant to be a Fenestra—Meridian has hit the road with Tens, her love and sworn protector, in hopes of finding another Fenestra. Their search leads them to Indiana, where Juliet, a responsible and loving teenager, works tirelessly in the nursing home where she and several other foster kids are housed. Surrounded by death, Juliet struggles to make a loving home for the younger kids, and to protect them from the violent whims of their foster mother. But she is struggling against forces she can't understand . . . and even as she feels a pull toward the dying, their sickness seems to infect her, weighing her down. . . .
Will Meri and Tens find Juliet in time to save her from a life of misery and illness? And will Meri and Tens' own romance weather the storms of new discoveries?
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book! And so soon after reading Meridian, which is really great, because there were a few references that I didn't get even reading this soon after, that meant that I would've missed out on more if I'd read this book later after Meridian, so I'm glad that I read it!
This book was a monster! I think it's about double the length of Meridian, and about double the amount of story! Because in this book, we have Meridian and tens, but also Juliet, and having to balance all of that, this book did a great job of that!
We got to learn more about Fenestras. Which was really fantastic, since one, and now two, of the main characters are them! And what they do, what they're facing, and all that kinds of stuff, was really awesome!
I really enjoyed the ending, it was a much more hopeful one then Meridian, and just makes me want to read the next book now, but we're going to have to wait, and that sucks, because I ant to read it now! Oh, well!
This was a really great book, a fantastic sequel, and I just want more!
