I did not enjoy everything about this book. I sometimes did not understand the charactermotives and it is for sure the most violent and brutal book I have ever read and I usually do not enjoy these things but this book left a deeply but rather pessimist Impression on me. It feels so true, certainly to close to the truth to be comfortable but I will remember it for a long time and I liked the thoughts about earthseed about God is change and working, creating and forming a better world is praying.
