This book was absolute trash. We read it in class and I found myself wishing that I was digging my own grave instead. There are many useless details and many things just left out. I was confused right until the last chapter, Then in the last chapter I was wishing I never read it. Gouging my eyes out would have been a better experience.
The idea was there, sure. But the execution was just as good as using a dull paring knife to cut through bone. If you have read the book, then you know that the main character, Lisse, is completely useless. Her only purpose was writing the history. But I'm 100% sure that someone else would have done it had she not been there. The book could have gone on without her, and should have. When the group was taking about peoples uses, Lisse didn't even get mentioned. So her own group even thinks that she is useless.
