About this deal
The depth of the cultures, religion, gender roles and racial discrimination was astounding, and I enjoyed every minute of it, soaking it all up!
In fact I can’t count the number of times my mouth went dry or my stomach knotted up in fearful anticipation while reading this book.Case in point, since he once swore to protect Aren's father's family, he goes to rescue him from the prison camp, even though he later came to hate Aren's father fiercely.
I could go on and on about what happens next but I shan’t, since I couldn’t live with ruining the sheer delight of this novel for any aspiring readers. Overwatchman Klyssen was counting on this and was the only reason Aren was arrested in the first place. Their cultures and backgrounds are intricately set out in a world that’s both highly credible and immersive.No doubt there will be some disappointed readers out there unhappy at the news, but with books this size – for me, at least – this was always going to be a marathon, not a sprint.
