Wow. The opening scene is powerful and vivid. And the blue-skinned people of Kentucky is intriguing and unique. I'd never heard of them before and love the historical attention.
Cussy is an interesting character, and I like how she stands out--not only because of the color of her skin, but because she is strong and forward moving. The cover is wonderful, and any book about books catches my attention. I love the 'book' aspect of the story.
Some of the story matter is difficult to get through - and covers matters I normally choose not to read. I feel much of the story was predictable, and I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending.
All in all, I enjoyed this book, as well as the title, cover, characters, and setting.
