I found this book personally enlightening, especially on empathy. It was humbling to see Luta taking a completely different perspective towards the botai. Luta was able to convince Bellona to also look out for Keldiari's life, despite Bellona's initial prejudice against the botai. This taught me we are responsibke for the hate and prejudice against each other. Human's pessimism towards aliens or beings they consider unfamiliar make them resistant to collaboarting with them.Melisa Jane wrote: ↑07 Jan 2024, 06:37 This is a discussion topic for the January 2024 Book of the Month, "The Great Migration: Book One of the S'orne Saga" by Steve Ramirez

I thought I was the only one who noticed it. The author did not stick to the traditional science fiction but added a bit more depth with the inclusion of faith and different religious factions. So, yeah, it had more depth.Zanne Crystle wrote: ↑07 Jan 2024, 18:30 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.
