This was a hard book to finish. Was I glad I read it? yes. Half-way through I had to stop reading for awhile since it made me very angry. 
 Yes, the writing is good the setting was interesting, the characters were well fleshed out. But as the story continues I found myself hating most of the characters and the culture. I hate that it made me feel like that. The ending brought about some conclusion, but it all seems too little, too late. I learned a little bit about a culture that I don't know much about, but unfortunately this book seemed to make me more closed-minded about it, instead of open.
