Children of God by Mary Doria Russell

4.0

When I finished The Sparrow and realized there was a sequel I was a little leery because I didn't think it really needed a sequel. That didn't stop me from ordering it and starting it the day it arrived though. And wow. This was such a great follow up. You see other people's perspectives, and it completely changes how you feel about some people. It's crazy how easy it can be to misunderstand someone or apply motives to them that are totally not what they intended. I also thought the bit where Carlo turned out to be allergic to the whole planet so sad and hilarious at the same time. I could totally see that happening to me.
