I must admit this isn’t a book I would normally read. Books about slave rebellions never interested me but then the author captured my attention with how I was asked to review this book and I couldn’t say no and I was also interested. It sounded way different from the others books I’ve read. I am so happy I read this book. It touched me deeply and I couldn’t get enough of it. I am proud to say that this is now one of my favorite books. From start to finish this book had my attention. It even consumed my thoughts long after I finished.
Joseph was a first born who along with the other firstborn were forced to be taken away. Before he was though he married his childhood sweetheart, Grace, in secret. Joseph was so sweet and selfless. He helped many kids, even ones that were in no doubt going to die. He showed so much kindness. Sarah was an interesting character and I liked her a lot. I wished that there was more of her in the story. There was a little of Grace’s point of view in the book but I have mixed feelings about her. I think it’s mostly due to the fact that I really didn’t get to know much about her character. She was definitely strong and selfless but I never made a connection with her. I was secretly hoping something would happen between Joseph and Sarah.
Overall, this book was amazing with hardly any mistakes or problems. I hope there is another book otherwise I will be extremely disappointed and a little angry. The ending was so open and I want to see Joseph in more action….and maybe Adam and his brother. They were all so good together. I highly recommend this book. I even got my friends interested in it to give it a try. S.F. Malik is an amazing writer.
