    About this audiobook

    "We'd had to be cut free of our mother's womb. Abby and I were fused, you see. Conjoined twins." Now adults, Makeda and Abby still share their childhood home. The surgery to separate the two girls gave Abby a permanent limp, but left Makeda with what feels like an even worse deformity: no mojo. The daughters of a celestial demigod and a human woman, Makeda and Abby were raised by their magical father, the god of growing things. Today, Makeda has decided it's high time to move out and make her own life among the other nonmagical, claypicken humans. But when her father goes missing, Makeda will have to find her own talent if she's to have a hope of saving him...

    • 5/5
      Great book, with top of the line narration. Amazing fantasy and insight into hoodoo religion
    • 4/5
      nice writing on the voice of the book, and on the characters. a very lively collection of demi-god relatives add a lot of colour to the Toronto setting. the actual plot seems a bit vague, though, and sometimes desultory.
    • 3/5
      I really wanted to like this book, great mythology, interesting characters, but ultimately it just got too silly.
      I felt like the author had to gloss over so much of the internal works of her universe to keep things she set in motion moving that it often barely made sense.
      It's ok for characters to know more about the inner workings of their magic or mojo then you as a reader does, but not just because it's the only way to solve the plot mess you just made.
      I think if she'd kept it simpler, it could have been great. As it is, I read the first two thirds in 2 days and the last third took me two weeks.
    • 1/5
      I struggled on to about half-way through but honestly, it was so juvenile and shambolic I could not be bothered to finish it.
    • 4/5
      This was such an odd story, it's hard to put it in a category. It seemed to weave between life and death, paranormal and the "juju" kind of magic, with a little sci-fi thrown in the mix. I'm not sure if the story wasn't well-decided on what it wanted to be, or it just wasn't presented in a way that made sense to me, I felt like I was struggling to get my bearings through most of the book. I did listen as an audiobook--it's possible that didn't help the process this time, so take my 3 stars with a grain of salt, you may like it better.
    • 5/5
      All I can say is WOW, Sister Mine is easily one of my favorite books I've read this year. Great storyline, engaging characters, perfect pacing. The narration in this is too notch too, so often the tone of the narrator is annoying to me or I have a hard time differentiating between characters by voice...not the case here. It's well worth a listen.
    • 5/5
      Nice story. Kept me interested the whole way through. Just grounded enough to be easy to follow but stayed true to the classic Nalo mystical elements as well.
    • 4/5
      I really wasn't comfortable with the incest in this book, even though it made total sense world-building wise. The other 99 percent of the book was both wonderful and totally unputdownable.
