Abeo's journey ending in
As many other reviewers have said and I am echoing, books like this are always more complicated when written by Americans, as seen in the American Savior plotline, but I believe that Abeo was still her own protagonist and had her own motivations and experiences that seperated this book from many others of its kind.
I look forward to reading more of McFadden's books this year and learning from them.
