Mitchener made it sound like paradise but when you go there and see the cliff where warriors were driven off in 1795 Battle of Nuʻuanu you can understand that not everything was peace and love.(less)

“A man lost to himself is lost to all.”
Jeffrey Marcus Oshins, The Eye of the Archer

“Red-bellied hummingbirds and hard-beaked toucans banked in the mist rising up in wet clouds. The air shook around jagged rock columns that thrust from swirling water thrown white from brown waves. The scent of the muddy river mixed with the ripe jungle smells of rotting leaves and flowers.”
Jeffrey Marcus Oshins, 12: A Novel About the End of the Mayan Calendar
