If You Like Characters with Supernatural Powers...
First, I don't care for a character to have supernatural powers; it instantly takes the story out of the realm of ?everyman? (or everywoman). I'm sure that I?m in the minority but I can't really get emotionally involved in this side of a character.
This is my first Jill Marie Landis book and I was impressed with her command of writing great dialog. She's also adept at describing scenes that are interesting and engaging. Landis takes us from the seamier side of New Orleans (in 1816) to a sumptuous New Orleans plantation to a passenger ship and finally to a tropical island in the West Indies.
All of the important (main and secondary) characters were well-drawn. This book gives a great look at a functioning plantation and the interaction between all its residents.
Cord and Celine were interesting and complex; the way Celine got the chance to marry Cord was a bit hokey but otherwise their interaction rang true. This is an interesting story of the early 1800's life in the South ? except for the items I've already mentioned.
