Moving and thought provoking
I can’t lie, history isn’t a strong subject of mine so I knew very little about the South African concentration camps and these New Dawn Type camps when i first started this book. So for me, the events detailed and unfolding in this book are a disturbing revelation. It might be fiction, but it’s based on historical true events so I know it’s not far from the truth. It’s shocking and immensely moving, reading about the plight of a number of characters from 1901 to the present date. At first I didn’t understand why this started off in 1901 and worked it’s way through different characters to the almost present day, but it all makes sense and intertwines in a way as the book goes on and it’s a great way to tell a story. This is wonderfully written, bringing out a number of reactions and the emotions in the reader as it goes on and I felt a mixture of sheer anger and frustration and sadness reading this. The characters are all well developed, with their own flaws and traits that make them both intriguing and sometimes frustrating (but in a good way) to read. My only criticism would be that the ending seemed a little rushed in comparison to the rest of the book, and I wouldn’t have minded a slightly longer book at the benefit of a less rushed ending.

This isn’t a book I would have ordinarily thought of reading, but I’m glad I did and would highly recommend reading it!

Sweeping Saga
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.
