It’s the year 2162 and a Young boy named Jal is caught up in
the violence that permeates his everyday life. With the guidance of an
invisible protector, he is convinced to set out on a journey towards a
sanctuary that will last seven days. It might not sound like a long time, but
the details are ion the journey. The encounters that he has, the friendships
that he builds and the experiences that he is exposed to shape this young boy
like nothing before.
A fantasy tale that is very intellectual and philosophical
at the same time. Faith, courage and patience are tested and the reader can
easily get caught up in the tribulations of Jal. A good book for young adults
and Adults alike, I think this book is a tale that will pose thoughtful
questions for us in how we view our surroundings. Many allegories, but I like
those so that’s a plus for me.
