The story is a wonderful and interesting story that is so much more than I thought. The plot is easy to understand and easy to follow as you learn more about the different characters and their development to the story. The cover is mostly blue and sliver except for the red sun that is behind the mountain which means hope will rise again and after looking closely at the cover I have found the patten that many uses for water. With the words honour, betrayal, survival. The story and the ending of the book bring much hope after the gutgrabbing part at the beginning as you read it brings you such hope that you would have to re read it again.
