5.0 out of 5 stars Maturity and growth beyond your imagination
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021
Very good read. I just finished this work of art. Most people who read it already had so much negativity to say like: poorly written, not good, trash, waste of time because it took twenty years. My personal opinion : There are so many beautifully placed gems throughout this novel that if you are closed minded and not open to see beyond your expectations of what Sistah Souljah has pinned you will miss the entire message. Not reading it because someone else said it was trash falls into one of the messages in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it caused me to think about my life journey from where I was 20 years ago when I Read The Coldest Winter Ever to present day. Just as I have matured and left things, people and behaviors behind so did the author and character. Read it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whew, chile, what a journey that was...
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021
This book was probably the strangest, most bizarre book I have ever read in my entire reading life... and it was amazing! I will admit that at first, I was like, “WTF is this?! Who asked for this? We did not need a sequel.” It started off on a note I wasn’t expecting at all. Fantasy is not my genre of choice. BUT I stuck with it and was rewarded, at least to me, for my patience. This book is ahead of it’s time, way WAY ahead of its time. It’s so well crafted and mapped out. Weird and extremely uncomfortable to read at times. I got frustrated with Winter and hoped she wouldn’t eff what little progress she’d make in a chapter only for her to disappoint and eff things up anyway. But her character arc was real, raw, flawed, and consistent. If you do the disservice of starting and not finishing this book, you miss out in a major way. I initially was disappointed at Winter’s lack of growth for the majority of the story, but eventually she got it. I read TCWE as a teen and loved Winter. But when I reread the story again as an adult, I became super aware of how selfish and ugly she was. When I heard there would be a sequel, I was hyped to see if Winter changed, if she grew because she didn’t seem to have matured in the minor scene she appeared in, in Porsche’s story. I was almost sad Winter didn’t show growth at the start or middle of the book, but girlfriend arrives at the end. The religious aspect in this story will always be up for debate but I loved it for Winter, sis needed it. Sister Souljah remains one of my favorite authors. What she did here was brilliant and on a third eye level. If this story proved anything to me, it’s that she’s a visionary.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book I’ve read
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021
Soo like many others I read the first book and instantly was hooked. Even when she wrote the Midnight series I stayed loyal. But this book here is straight trash. I’m mad I bought this book and had other people waist their money as well. First and foremost the book reads like a directors movie notes. She spends way too much time setting the screen by giving useless and unnecessary ass description of every little thing. I mean every thing chick really wrote damn near a whole page on how shoes were on a shoe rack. The book has no substance and feels rushed while still being very detailed oriented. The book really has nothing to do with the original book crept a few name drops form previous characters. And even when they are mentioned it’s also mediocre at best. All that winter goes through during the book could have been told in 3 chapters. It’s 31 chapters of straight filler words. You can seriously read damn near the first and last page of each chapter to determine what went on. It’s all stupid, if she wanted to right an afterlife novel she should have done that with its own stand alone book by maybe having the star character be Lana and her journey into death. That may have made more sense then to have your most popular character who you built up to have this unrealistic reality show comeback after being in jail for 15 years. Like what in the Love and Hip Hop was she thinking. To this day there is zero growth in the character in any of the books she is featured in and when given an opportunity to show any type of maturity even in the afterlife there is none. Ugh I’m just over it please do not buy this book if you are looking for that same excitement form the first book. This book is depressing and is better suited for being a door stopper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Of The YEAR!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2021
Anyone who doesn’t like this book or who refuses to finish reading it, are still on the same spiritual level they were 20 yrs ago. All of Souljah’s books have moral and spiritual lessons in them. However, her writing, in all her books, is usually so deep the book requires more than one read. Anyone who’s read this book and didn’t get it, are no doubt the people who have read the Bible and still only see the words on the page. This book is perfect to me because it accounts for the 15 years Winter spent in prison. Winter is 30 something now and so are many of the fans who read The Coldest Winter Ever. By now, all those 30+ fans should be on a journey searching for spiritual truth. Souljah is a master storyteller who has managed to bring truth in the form of Urban Fiction so it can reach a particular audience in need of that truth. What I can say is that every story that sounds far fetched in this book, has a deeper spiritual meaning. If u ain’t searching for truth, the meaning behind those stories may escape u. There was so many good lessons in this book, that I will be reading it a 2nd time just to see if I missed anything. Also, for those of u who think the reality piece is too unbelievable, u obviously r not taking into account the society we live in and the fact that Winter’s sister is married to a man who has major pull in the film/tv industry. We’ve had a reality show about strippers, pawnshops, etc., why not a drug dealers daughter and her crew? I think Souljah delivered a book that was well worth the wait. 5 stars all day long!!!!

I know this book didn’t start the way we all wanted it to. But please read this book cover to cover and you will not be disappointed. I did want to stop in the middle of the book because of how it started, but when I just kept reading it was all worth it.
