Wow! Wow! Wow! What a powerful book! I found myself re-reading chapters to make sure I was really grasping the concepts and imagery. This is a fantasy book but it is so much more than that! The author incorporated so many other concepts, morals, and values into it that it could have been a real life plot if it didn’t have all the magic. The ending was not your typical happy ending but it was full of life and hope. Seriously five stars, read it.
