I totally agree with you, <i>Incarnate</i> was such a beautifully written novel and incredibly creative and original as far as reincarnation goes. I loved the fact that the wall around the city of Hart, actually had a pulsing heartbeat. I thought that was definitely intriguing and the romance between Sam and Anna was absolutely heartwrenchingly sweet.<br /><br />Best line never: <i>Beautifully written and wonderfully crafted, Incarnate is one outstandingly original utopian book that you won't want to miss!</i> Seriously, it should be a tag on the book somewhere. For sure! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://soulunsung.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Suz @ A Soul Unsung</a><br /><a href="http://soulunsung.blogspot.com/2012/01/book-review-incarnate-by-jodi-meadows.html" rel="nofollow">Don't Miss My Review for Incarnate</a><br />susanhaugland@att.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796778737522213840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841889026658306428.post-82583326146403324482012-03-01T21:17:34.937-05:002012-03-01T21:17:34.937-05:00oh! so it is a Utopian!

I WANTS to meet him already, Mimi.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the world-building the most, though. I've heard people say things along the same lines as you, about how she has EVERYTHING in there. The fact that she approaches the incarnation bit gracefully is cool too.
