![]() ![]() In the end, I was pleased with knowing how Sugar and the other people of Bigelow ended up. ![]() And the story is sprinkled with ghosts and prophetic dreams and signs and natural symbols (river running blood red, rain for days on end, ravens) all foreshadowing future events and explaining past occurrences. The characters in these books are so interesting. Although it took me forever to get This Bitter Earth to find out, and even longer to finish the story, I'm so glad I did. When I finished Sugar almost a year ago, I wanted to know how she was, and what happened to her after she left Arkansas and where she would end up, if she would be okay. My journey with Sugar Lacey has come to an end.

On the positive side, it is a very quick read. ![]() Of course, it was good to see the guilty get their just dues, but I sure would have appreciated a different approach towards the same. It's almost as if the author listed out the incomplete tracks of the first book and made sure she plugged all the gaps in this volume. The first book was pretty nuanced in its writing and character development. If you were somewhat satisfied with the way things were left in Sugar, you can safely skip this. If you feel like you want to know what happens next, only then pick up this sequel. The first book, while having an outstanding ending, left plenty of threads dangling. I am disappointed enough to not write a full-length review. ![]()
