Customer Reviews

Expertly researched with a strong sense of character.

This continuation of the story of Kai contains a strong sense of the subtle dilemmas faced by the young and the somewhat older. Welch's masterful delivery displays great depth and delicacy, and great compassion as well. This book has been infused with a balance of morality and humanity all readers might benefit from. Succinct, reader friendly, good.
