I did think that certain aspects of the story were a bit too graphic, both violence toward women and sexual encounters. They were tastefully written, however I am sensitive to both and wish they had been implied rather than so well described - personal preference. I also think the flashbacks for certain characters, particularly Cora and Mamnoon were excessive. Flashbacks in Sarah's case made sense, since she was remembering her childhood and life on the islands and the novel starts after she has left that life. But barring the secret details of final episode of Cora's story, I don't think the other flashbacks helped the story, but rather made it more difficult to follow than necessary. I also struggled with the geographical connection between the South Seas and Africa - they are so far apart, is the story spanning years?
Overall, Josanna did an excellent job of pulling together three worlds in a compelling way and I am curious to see where the characters' adventures will take them in the future.
