This one is less adventure and more reflective than the previous books in this series, covering heavy themes. Chambers guides us through these topics with masterful writing, while enveloping us in a world so well developed it feels like a home from home.

I think it was a work of genius weaving the reader’s role of bearing witness into Sawyer’s storyline in such a profound way…
