Phenomenal. The book follows several characters at once and how their destinies intertwine. The transitions were so smooth, consecutive and well-done. Amazing work with the characters and the mirror effects between them; beautiful examination of how nature and society correspond to great challanges; stimulating food for thought; great build up of the plot line. My words would never be enough.
