The plot was exciting, adventurous, and thought provoking. I loved the lessons to be learned throughout the book. This is one of those stories that would, at times, toyed with my emotions. It was a pleasure listening to the audiobook of this tale in one day. I had to keep playing and did not want to hit that pause button up until the end. It was a great way to spend my time while doing my chores while being entertained at the same time. I loved it.
