This book draws you in and keeps your attention. It's a great read from a different perspective. Your view on who is/is not the enemy becomes kind of... fuzzy. Reza's journey is unbelievably fascinating in a way that is somewhat inspiring, and you come to love many of the Kreelan just as he does. The love between him and Esah-Zurah is beautiful in every way. The details on the Kreelan culture is intriguing to the mind. One can easily tell that alot of work went into it. I have to say that if you're into sci-fi, and like the learning of races/cultures when reading, this is a book to pick up. I know I'm glad I did.
