My favorite of Karen Lord's books is still The Best of All Possible Worlds, but I also really enjoyed Redemption in Indigo (especially the first half, which I LOVED). Though there was more focus on storytelling than characterization, Paama was a great main protagonist–resourceful, compassionate, and overall admirable. The book was often quite humorous, but it was less light in the second half.

I will need to re-read to give an adequate rating but at the moment I am hovering around a 3.5
Just wow, new favorite book. I think in some ways this made me feel like how I feel when I read The Hobbit - I just felt completely transported and hypnotized by the whimsy and magic of it. I can see why this is not everyone's cup of tea, but I disagree with reviews that this is a children's story largely because that does a great disservice to Lord's spectacular writing - speaking of which I can't believe this is their debut, but plot wise I guess on the same hand I can see it. Regardless, all of Lord's works are now on my TBR.
