This book was brutal but I loved how you could feel the author's passion radiating off of every page. The writing style was hard to get into at first but once I found a rhythm I really enjoyed it. I had never heard of the historical figures mentioned in this book so it was really good to hear of so many different names and events. There were so many great things to pick out from this book but my favorite was probably Moa's fascination with discovering how we all bleed the same. Just that moment of awakening was so powerful and I loved how the author explored it.
This was a short book but to me it didn't feel like it. So much was packed in but it didn't affect the pacing which was really well thought out. As I said above, you couldn't miss the author's pride in his ancestors and I think that's what made it such a great story because it was one that meant so much to the one writing it. Overall, this is a book that anyone can benefit from reading! I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author in the future. Happy Reading :)
