agile76au's review against another edition
4.0
This was an at times brilliant and original piece of literature. In many respects the plot was secondary to the main characters' emotional journeys. The author was able to convey their inner-most thoughts and give us, the readers, a sense of their inner sadness, fear, honour and identity through poetic description and minimalist dialogue.
There were certain points in the novel where I thought the narrative became overly sentimental to the point where it took me out of the flow of the book. Overall, though, the author successfully weaves the line between vivid imagery and melodrama to leave this reader wanting more.
