I love books with a purpose, a hidden or sometimes not so hidden meaning to them. This is one such book.
I must confess that the first time I read it I found the beginning slow and weighty. Not exactly the book I was looking for at the time. After going through it again though I realized that I missed the Author's note at the beginning of the book and therefore did not fully understand the books purpose.
This book is classified as science-fiction but the reason behind it is anything but. Human trafficking and slavery are very real and is still practiced the world over. This story is a powerful book about one girl's journey from slavery to freedom and learning to find her voice again.
As purely science-fiction, I enjoyed this book. After learning about it's true meaning and purpose, I love this book. Ms. Kreitzer did a wonderful job writing a book that, even during the "slow" parts, draws you in while simultaneously teaching you about the perils that are still going on in our society today. I will certainly be back for more from this author.
Note: I purchased this book with my own funds.
