Review: the capacity for self-reflection
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 5, 2014
Shreffler imagines a sort of picked-on weakling who develops the capacity for reflecting on the errors of his own culture and their persecution of the children of a potentially but not necessarily evil race.  (To understand this picture you may need to read the three preceding books.)So then what happens when this guy becomes a sort of superman among them?  Nothing simplistic you can be sure.  Among the many ebook fantasy authors, Shreffler is gradually delivering something beyond the ordinary formula of the genre.  My only complaint is the waiting for the next installment.
