kdawn999's review against another edition
4.0
Picks up right where the first book left off and feels like a seamless continuation of the story. I find the dialogue improved and the characters just as compelling—especially the new ones on Rakhat. I might even like this book better since it gives more closure and hope with the workings of time.

"Children of God" is the sequel to "The Sparrow", which I read a few months ago. I figured that I should hurry up and read this one while "The Sparrow" plotline is still relatively fresh in my mind. It's a good read with touches of relligion/spirituality, sci-fi, romance and action/adventure.

This is one of those rare times when I actually liked a sequel BETTER than the... sequel-ee? Anyway, although I didn't love them as much as Martha does, they were definitely worth the read. I also liked being able to answer "what's that about?" inquiries with "Jesuits in space."

It has been over 12 years since I read The Sparrow, and I really remember nothing about it. That might be the main reason why I am finding myself unable to get interested in this sequel. I just don't really care what happens, and I'm quite bored. Giving up about 1/3 of the way through.
