On This Unworthy Scaffold by Heidi Heilig
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.0
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
On This Unworthy Scaffold examines the weaponization of people. What happens to us when we are turned into weapons, when our souls are weaponized. At the same time, it examines the differences between ourselves, and Jetta, and the forces she, and her friends, fight. Just because we think, we are different from those we fight, does that make it true? If our motives are 'pure' does that make it better? Within this conflict, who is worthy to be saved? Where does their 'worthiness' stem from?
On This Unworthy Scaffold doesn't offer easy answers. This finale delves into our definitions of 'foreigners' and 'citizens'. While Jetta and her friends might be fighting on grand scales, what changes in the lives of those around her? The ones who pick up the pieces. If you've loved the series so far, then you are bound to enjoy this finale. Do our differences lie in what we can do? What we will sacrifice for the "greater" good?
