Where Peace Is Lost by Valerie Valdes

4.0

It reads as a quest to save a world, a journey or personal forgiveness, romance, and anti-capitalist philosophy. That's a lot to cram into 12 hours.

Rebeccsa Mozo, the narrator, had a handful of mispronouciations that should have been caught by someone. Not enough to be ruinous, but distracting nonetheless.  :(  Pronouncing buffet as the noun form, for instance, when it was used as the verb form.
