A review by kylearnzen
Children of God by Mary Doria Russell

4.0

I had no expectations that this book would be able to live up to its predecessor, [b:The Sparrow|334176|The Sparrow|Mary Doria Russell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1230829367s/334176.jpg|3349153], and I'm glad, because I don't think it did. It was, however, still a wonderful continuation (and ending) to the story. We see minor characters from the first novel fleshed out more fully, and engaging new ones showing up at all points throughout the story. I don't think I realized until after I had finished the book how necessary this sequel was, and how many questions I had actually had before reading it.
