This book, and this series, explores morality and forgiveness in the complex shades of grey they always are. I rarely see such an accurately nuanced perspective - books in this genre especially will often cast people and actions in black and white, purely good or purely evil, with a nicely packaged resolution. Like a fantasy. Laura Sebastian paints a real world, warts and all.
