What topics did you find harder to read?
However, even though this can not be characterized as a downside, I have to admit some topics can be quite difficult to read about. Not only because they touch on some of our world's current events, but also because they can be triggering depending on the reader's sensitivity and limits.
Which topics did you find harder to read? Which ones did you find extremely similar to some of our world problems?

I found the 'artificial intelligence' topic to be similar to present problems as the modern-day world does have some concerns regarding its capabilities.

I completely agree! The deaths were a harsh reality and when I connected with some of the characters they would not last that long. However they left with a sense of accomplishment and humanity.Aleena Augustine wrote: ↑16 Jan 2024, 08:34 Without a doubt, the portions I found hard to read were the gruesome deaths of some of the characters. However, I loved how their personalities still shone through, as several of them died trying to help others.

Exactly! I think they were necessary to create the vision the author intended, but they were so descriptive sometimes that I found it really disturbing as well!Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis wrote: ↑19 Jan 2024, 18:43 I found that the beginning of the book was the hardest to read. The brutal murders of humans and animals was quite disturbing.

- Latest Review: The Way of the Goddess by Ananta Ripa Ajmera
When Laena was discussing faith in her class she told about the Truths, the Chosen, and the Faithful. I find that a little bit harder to understand.
I was confused when the s'orne attack happened in Guerdon without any prior information.
And more than that when Luta was explaining about botai, s'orne fever, genetic engineering, etc. to Bellona I found that harder to understand. How can s'orne migrate between the worlds?
