Overall Feedback: I found this to be a great mix of emotions with very eloquent writing. The author whisks you away on a journey through a culture you may have only thought you knew. Without a doubt this author has talent and the masses should take notice.Point of View: The point a view is perfect for the story and allows the reader to gain a deeper knowledge of the characters and the situations that arise.Voice: A culture is more than its appearance.Character Development: Well crafted and thought out characters that drive the reader through the plot.Plot: Sometimes you find a book that has a great plot but somewhere along the journey it is lost in the chapters. The author of this one starts to lose you about halfway through but regains her balance and saves the day.Dialogue:I felt as if I was thrown into a culture lock, stock and barrel. The dialogue was stilted in areas but I figure this would be due to the presentation of the story in English.Pacing: Again about halfway through I felt the story was beginning to drag but within a few paragraphs the author saves the train from derailing.Setting: I felt as if I were in the middle of the entire story as an unseen viewer.Continuity: I did not see any issues here and if there are the author does well to keep them hidden.
