This is the best book I have read in a very long time. It is the simple things like the world building and the characters' relationships with each other. It is the web cast wide but drawn together that makes it special. The varying way the story is told and how it reveals bits and pieces. It make you think on what in the modern era is worth living for? How the answers vary from person to person and even within a person with time. Great book. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
