Why did Maviah, Saba, and Talya just leave Dumah in the end of the story? Why didn't she stay with her people and fight to get Dumah back?

Did anyone feel that Maviah gained strength and personal courage by the end of the book? She lean on Saba and Talya for strength for the entire novel, and she never overcame her enemies to get back Dumah. At best she ends up going with them to the desert - did anyone else feel disappointed by her lack of personal transformation?

He's not saying that you actually have to hate / shun the people in your life, but that you have to be willing to see past your attachment to them in order to put Christ first in your life. It's not super well handled in this book (especially with Maviah and Saba's love story), but I think Dekker just wanted to show their confusion over this concept.(less)
