I fell so horrible. I did not like the book. But I did not finish it and plan to go back and finish it. I got up to the part where Barnabas first meets Angelique, they were both children . It seemed to me that all it was about was Angelique getting dressed up and worshiped as a god or something. But it seems like it does get better and I will go back to it. Thanks for all the info on the book, I am looking forward to give it another chance.
LOL....the beginning, I thought, was interesting, but I find all that stuff about god-worshipping and polytheistic stuff REALLY REALLY interesting, so maybe that's why. Erzulie! LOL Got me wondering if it was all true, and I think it is. How horrid! >.<;; But it the more you read the less it revolves around that, although that's the basic foundation upon which the character was built, so that effects everything she does...but I guess that goes w/o saying, cuz that's true 4 everyone!

I always felt Lara Parker's take on what happened in Martinique was wrong, skewed toward Angelique (not that I'd expect less). I never felt Barnabas told Ang he loved her or asked her to marry him. All that took place between them was a physical affair that she took to be more than it was.
I never thought their relationship 2 b that indepth either. I could see him telling her he loved her, but obviously not meaning it....I didn't ever imagine he would propose to her. If he had, and I were her, and I found out he were marrying Josette, he would have been a dead man in like THREE SECONDS. But I guess you kinda can't contradict Lara Parker.....she
is Angelique, rite?
But parts of it I thought were REALLY twisted......like Andre.
....do I put book spoilers?? LOL anyway.....I was like ".......so they're half sisters!?
?? WWWWHHHHOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!" Interweavings I'd just never thought of. That's y I liked it so much, because it was such a twisted way to fit everything 2gether, and all these ideas I'd never even thought about.
Books give me a buzz or something!! Whoooo....
