Disappointing. It’s the only word I have to describe this book.
I was interested by the culture in the beginning, but that quickly took a turn with the sheer amount of child abuse and sexism dismissed as a culture quirk.
The editing and flow of the story also lacks. There’s no major buildup and the final confrontation makes you wonder why the adults couldn’t take care of it themselves.
As far as this type of stories go, it was subpar.
