Convince us to read the book: This book highlights racism and prejudices within a society,and how they affect interaction. It showed how conquered civilizations survived. Overall,the book best represented the effects of differing religions within a society. Based off of this, the characters in the story were realistic and believable, but there was very little character development throughout the story.
Memorable or Forgettable: I found the rejection the main character, Tiadone, received for being different in race,gender,and religion the most memorable part of the book.
Cover: The cover is appealing, and very well matches the content in the book. It successfully reflects the story's tone.
