A Book of Reflection
This book made me reflect on a lot of ideas. It doesn’t matter if you were once a farmer or a king when you are a slave, you are a slave. Equality is an injustice in itself.
It is a simple tale with really deep concepts. Friendship, strife, slavery and freedom. The author’s writing style reminds me of Tolstoy’s short stories.

Very good read
This is an interesting book that brings deep meaning. While a bit lengthy in the beginning, as it nears the completion, it all becomes clear. Very well done!

It's a wonderful, captivating book. It kept my attention in a way that, when I realized, I was reading for hours... I really enjoyed, from the beginning to the end.

I enjoyed this story very much so. It had a well-thought out premise with plenty of extremely interesting characters. The main character was increasingly fascinating and I never found myself wanting to quit reading the story. I finished it all rather quickly and would definitely recommend this book to others wanting to try this author out.

Uma experiência muito agradável, misturando fantasia com temas importantes do mundo contemporâneo. Eu particularmente gosto bastante da forma como o autor descreve os personagens, cenários e acontecimentos provocando uma imersão na história e desejo de saber o desenrolar da mesma.
