Review: A very different story
Rating: 5 out of 5

I'm always pleasantly surprised when a story doesn't end the way I think it's going to. This is one of those books. To be able to get close to people on both sides of a war, to see both points of view, and watch each character come into their own is always wonderful, and Moses is able to do just that. To watch Lucia overcome her struggles is heartbreaking. To see the changes in Caio is shocking. To see Rao fight so hard for his ideals is enchanting. This book kept me going, making it hard to put it down, until I finished it. I think I stared at the last page for 10 minutes, trying to absorb the ending that I did NOT see coming. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this book, and am looking forward to reading the next!
