Review of 'Far from the Light of Heaven' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Really special book with many wonderful stories like a box of treats you unwrap one-by-one, your pressure growing relentlessly until you are unwrapped too. It's also a cunning murder mystery with plenty of suspects; a horror story with frightening antagonists; a story of imperialist ambitions exploitations, and consequences; and finally, a spiritual story that offers a compelling afterlife philosophy, one that rings familiar to Brazilian spiritualists. Very simply, a bloody brilliant novel with a plot that, um, slays, and characters you wish you could dance with or kiss in the dark of the forever night. Grab it and let it gobble up your weekend like I did. You will be so happy!!! :-)

I bought the book and the narration, so I could walk with it, and, yes, I also took my phone into the shower. It's that good! LOL. The narration is SO wonderful. And, yeah, I just preordered …
