A really really interesting read with thought provoking themes and moral questions. Was a quick read too, which I always enjoy. Some threads were difficult to link up and I feel could have done with more explanation, because it felt like not too much happened. Also, the ending was a little abrupt. But then I loved that the court room setting was the focus when things were happening, and the cultural and societal context was really interesting, and also very harrowing. I also think it was poignant that the reader was left to reflect on their own perception of justice. A good read overall!
