Yefon quickly grew on me. The author weaves history, culture and her life story into a novel that draws you in. Yefon speaks to you and you eagerly sit down to listen and take it all in. You become engrossed in her story because you know it is a great one and want to know how she rose to greatness and overcame obstacles. The language and traditions of Yefon’s culture are a part of the book – the author writes in a way that you are able to comprehend what the characters are referring to (and includes a handy-dandy glossary with definitions and additional insight!).Yefon is a part of a society that does not value women and is surrounded by people that are rooting against her. What she does have in her corner is a father that tells her how special she is from a young age and that he believes she will accomplish great things because it is her destiny.  Even with his tragic death, she continues to believe and hold onto the words he spoke to her. I loved this part of the story the most.
