Did you feel that the content of the book had depth beyond being a science fiction?

[Michael Valentine]

Yes, I think so. The book is based on science fiction but there are other aspects of the book. The book talked about politics and religion. It even talked about the values prevalent in our society.

[Adam Bryce Stern]

ABSOLUTELY. It goes beyond just science fiction, it highlights politics, choices, relationships, the motives behind those relationships or allies and so many other factors that directly reflects our real world

[Rebecca De Figueiredo]

I felt it had depth, so I recommend it to younger readers. The underlying messages are good; I felt that there was an environmental issue, just like our world, as well as aspects relating to race, religion, and creed, and the feeling of teamwork and how better things are when people work together.

[Nenye Charles]

It surely does. As a result of the interesting characters portrayed, I would recommend this to anyone, as they’ll also find the plot interesting.

[Tukuna Sahu]

Fantasy and sci-fi are, in my opinion, equally balanced. It's not only a work of fiction; it also addresses a number of fascinating and timely subjects in the modern world.

[Parth Krishna]

I believe so, because the book is based on science and fantasy. I cannot deny it.

[Kibet Hillary]

Yes, there were some aspects that appeared more realistic than just science fiction. I loved how Princess Dorinda and her father were portrayed, as it sounded more real than fiction. The fact that Bellona sounds relatable was also great. This did not detract the science fiction aspect of the book, though.

[Sean Patrick Tracy]

Yes, if you ask me. Because the happening comes real as there is depth to the plot's narrative. From the beginning, the book shows some events have happened which led to the present scene being narrated. That shows great depth in the story.

Yes, the book's content also had a lot of depth in terms of wisdom and human insight. I appreciated this line in the book, page 50, "The Zuni value things that can't be bought. Clean rivers, healthy children, unspoiled landscapes." Scattered throughout the book there were several insightful comments about life.

Also, the context of the book showed different scenarios, one being the value of the past, with the inclusion of the Zuni and their traditional ways, and the future, with the S'orne and genetic mutations and technology.

The book depicts different religious factions in the Kingdom (the Faithful, the Chosen, and the True) and how they clash or coexist. Laena and her students provided a comprehensive explanation of the ideologies of each faction and how they relate to each other. I think the author did a great job of showing how faith can provide comfort, guidance, and hope

Did you feel that the content of the book had depth beyond being a science fiction?

Yes I did feel that the content of the book had depth beyond being scientific. Because when the camp was hit by the enemy, the survivors showed humanistic qualities such as fear, looked for someone else to lead the group through its battles, showed empathy for the deceased, concern for their pet dog Scout who was being chased by a couple of Barongs.

[Gerry Steen]

This book has a huge anthropological feel to it. In Hawikah, during the denanne, we are treated to a demonstration of Zuni ceremony and tradition. So yes, there is more depth to this book than being a science fiction.

[Barongo Mosera]

Yes, the book's content also had a lot of depth in terms of wisdom and human insight. I appreciated this line in the book, page 50, "The Zuni value things that can't be bought. Clean rivers, healthy children, unspoiled landscapes." Scattered throughout the book there were several insightful comments about life.

[Silvia Orenge]

Yes, I think so. I like the book's inclusion of the role of faith and tradition in society. The book depicts different religious factions in the Kingdom (the Faithful, the Chosen, and the True) and how they clash or coexist. Laena and her students provided a comprehensive explanation of the ideologies of each faction and how they relate to each other. I think the author did a great job of showing how faith can provide comfort, guidance, and hope, but also how it can lead to conflict, intolerance, and violence.

[Julio Sanchez]

The book offers depth beyond typical sci-fi elements by exploring themes such as resilience, deceit, and hope amidst adversity. The inclusion of diverse cultures and complex political dynamics within the narrative contributes to its depth, presenting not just a tale of interstellar survival, but also a reflection on societal structures and individual motivations. This depth is further enriched by the protagonist, Keth's, internal struggle between duty and personal desires, adding layers of philosophical contemplation about freedom, responsibility, and identity.
