I finished Incarnate today. I found it last night on the Amazon “100 Books for 3.99 or Less” list for $2.99, but the price will change after February 28th, 2012, and I don’t know how much it will cost then.
In the city of Heart, everybody reincarnates each life with the memories of all their previous lives intact. They have been reincarnating for 5000 years, until one night their temple goes dark and a woman called Ciana dies. When a child is born, they expect it to be Ciana reincarnated, but instead it is somebody else, a Newsoul, who is living for the first time. Her name is Ana, and since everybody in Heart fears that they will be the next one replaced with a Newsoul, they have a hard time accepting her. One person who does accept her is Sam, who saves her life when her own mother betrays her trust.
The best thing about this book is the interactions between the people who have been reincarnating together for so many lives. Some of them have love that lasts from life to life, no matter what gender they are born into. Ana is ostracized because she hasn’t been part of this 5000 year history that they share.
There is a sequel, Asunder, and more to come. I liked Incarnate, but I don’t really feel the need to read the sequel (especially since it’s full price). It was f un read, though!
