Winter Santiaga returns in this sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever. TW: drugs, rape, beastiality, pro-life, anti-semitism, devil-worship (probably a lot more that I’m trying to erase from my memory). I’ve never felt so strongly about my dislike towards a book. I don’t know why I put my poor mind through that. This book had so much unnecessary vulgarity. I’m just so confused why anyone would choose this avenue of vulgarity to prove anything and why anyone would agree to publish it. The story was confusing and unstructured and the details were repulsive. I could get behind this message, but whatever her intention was, this book was not the best approach for it. I was immediately like wait, what?!īased on what I’ve read online, this was Sister Souljah’s attempt at breaking down stereotypes about Islamic people being terrorists and at showing how peaceful they truly are. In Life After Death, as the title suggests, the story takes place in the afterlife. In the Coldest Winter Ever, Winter’s story was so real. Instead of going around on adventures try to find a footing, she was being whipped around without any agency in her situation. She was not the powerful woman I knew her to be. However, in Life After Death, I couldn’t connect with any decision she made. Winter made so many mistakes before, but I couldn’t fault her because she was a product of her upbringing and she was young. All the reasons I loved the original story are absent from this story. If you read The Coldest Winter Ever and loved it, chances are you won’t love this sequel. This was an Advanced Reader's Copy curtesy of NetGalley and Simon Shuster Canada in exchange of an honest review Was this book written to get the readers to reflect on their own lives and work on being a more humble individual? And if so, it was definitely lost with all the unnecessary events that Sister Soulja filled the book with. So why would it be any different for Winter? Her father was a drug dealer in NY, he wasn't Pablo Escobar and even if he was, no one really knows who Pablo Escobar's kids are. Like how was one of the devil's spawn admitted into the City of Mercy? I also don't understand how Winter is a worldwide celebrity. I had many unanswered questions by the end of the book.
I was disappointed in this book, as I've read all of Sister Souljah's books and loved them. Without going into full details, after the second chance or mercy (as its referred to in the book) - Winter goes to the City of Mercy where she is to humble herself. While here, Winter is given 3 chances to be saved and she chooses evil the first 2 times.
This book is based on the after life, called The Last Stop Before the Drop where lost souls still have a chance to be saved.
