I enjoyed The Jumbie God's Revenge, finding it an engaging middle-grade fantasy, much like its predecessors. I did sometimes feel that events were a little rushed, and I wasn't entirely clear about the extent of Corinne's powers, and how she came by them. The narrative seems to imply, in the scenes in which she confronts Huracan, that she has abilities that even full jumbies like Papa Boi and Mama D’Leau do not. Perhaps we are meant to understand that because she is half jumbie and half human, she can unite the two? I wasn't entirely clear on that, or on how she developed her various abilities. I did like the incorporation of Huracan into the story, given that he is a Mayan deity, and that this reflects the mixed cultural influences in the Caribbean. Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed the first two books in the series. ( )
