The ethical questions discussed in the book are intriguing, the characters are well written and the language is chosen carefully.
A great read altogether.

A timeless and yet surprisingly current exposé of human nature, the internal battle of good and evil, and the decisions we make that affect our life’s course.
The writing itself is beautiful. Not flowery, not pretentious. Straightforward and unassuming. The dialogue is reflective of how people really talk to each other.
The book brilliantly discusses childhood, loss of innocence, colonization, exploitation, and how man justifies war. It is a work of art.
The book is rich with plot twists and intrigue. I cannot recommend it enough.
