Just started the book today! So far I have had to reread a lot of vivid imagery regarding the environment and descriptions of the terrain within the setting of the story and that took a hot minute but now we are learning more about our introduced characters and a bit about the narrator too! I have an idea of how this book will go down since it is tied back to Genesis but not sure in what fashion. Stay tuned! :)

I have 1 chapter left til Part 2. I liked Adam when they were boys most definitely but now I like Charles more as an adult. I think Cathy Ames is just like Judge Holden- THE DEVIL (!!!) And if I had to guess, she’s gonna marry one of the brothers! I think she’d choose Adam bc he seems easier to manipulate compared to Charles- mans does NOT converse nor congregate with anyone ESPECIALLY women! I. HAVE. SPOKEN!!!!

The book is really descriptive and well-worded! I enjoy reading about the two families and the nature of each family member. I am curious to see how the two families will be connected. I think it will be connected due to conflict concerning the Salinas Valley land each family has or maybe like a Romeo/Juliet family feud? Only one way to find out! Let’s keep reading :)
