This book is so different in tone and world from Valdes' other trilogy, and I loved it just as much! It's refreshing to find a book involving so much violence that, at its core, has a message of pacifism. The unfolding world was rich with history and depth. I especially loved the eco-conscious, socialist world explored in this book. Between the world itself, and the openness with which it treated its residents and visitors alike, and the message of finding peace in yourself and forging peace in the world around you, this book left me with a really good feeling. Whatever Valdes happens to write next, I know I'll be in line to read it!
Graphic: Cursing, Violence, Blood, Death, and Gun violence
