This was a pretty good book. I had to read this for summer reading. I rated it 3 stars out of 5, because it just wasn't very good or amazing. For the most part, it was really boring. However, I did kind of like it. The characters were very well-developed. I really liked the end, because it has a deep meaning behind it, and there are many different theories of what the ending means. On the other hand, this book just didn't keep me at the edge of my seat or made me want to read it in my spare time. There were some interesting parts, but not enough for me to even consider giving it a 4 or 5 star rating.

In conclusion, I don't recommend that you read this book if you like fantasy or science fiction books(like me). If you like non- fiction, then maybe you will like it.

Have a great day and happy reading!

The book is probably better suited for a younger reader but I think I appreciated it a little more now that I've been to the places described in the book. As with many books that try to write from the perspective outside the culture of the person who is writing the book I think the author tried too hard to avoid using any words or concepts outside of the Yuni language. There are times when it would have been better to let the narrator step in and fill the blanks.
