Lileala has just been named the Rare Indigo—beauty among beauties—and is about to embrace her stardom, until something threatens to change her whole lifestyle and turn the planet of Swazembi upside down.
Colonized by the descendants of Earth's West African Dogon Tribe, the planet of Swazembi is a blazing, color-rich utopia and famous vacation center of the galaxy. No one is used to serious trouble in this idyllic, peace-loving world, least of all the Rare Indigo.
But Lileala's perfect, pampered lifestyle is about to be shattered. The unthinkable happens and her glorious midnight skin becomes infected with a mysterious disease. Where her skin should glisten like diamonds mixed with coal, instead it scabs and scars. On top of that, she starts to hear voices in her head, and everything around her becomes confusing and frightening.
Lileala's destiny, however, goes far beyond her beauty. While searching for a cure, she stumbles upon something much more valuable. A new power awakens inside her, and she realizes her whole life, and the galaxy with it, is about to change . . .

I do wish there was just one more draft written before publication on this one- a stronger hand editing could’ve tightened up the character journey, and some of the unpredictable pov switches, but otherwise I’m going to Crittendon’s bio for my next read. This is one of the most creative speculative fiction novels I’ve ever read. (Also, the narration on this is very very well done!!)
Left me spinning in waves of joy!

I hope you write a follow up book! I am dying to know if Rolek is able to control his temperature once his pain is healed. How does Lalila manage her new role as Em-Hondura? Which aspirant is chosen to succeed Lalila as the new Rare Indigo and does Iza prove to be trouble? How is Golong rebuilt? What happened to the children? Were they reunited with their parents? Are the slaves on Klabb freed? I have so many questions and I'm DYING to know more about this world. I'm anxiously waiting to hear more about Swazimbe, Toth, Klabb and all of the other worlds!
Fantastical journey of hope and growth
