review 1: It's been several months since I finished this, but I wanted to comment before I forget completely: I like that the misfit community is peaceful and seems to value life. I did not like that main character (Oh, goodness, I have forgotten her name!) comes to basically worship herself and this nothingness that she believes is the true core of everything, yes, everything; every person, animal, every thing. That's a hindu perspective, is it not? That is a sad lie to believe. As is typical, there is good in there, but the foundation is just sad to me. I've come to realize that stories written with the core view being set in Christianity offer the best stories. Not the outwardly, preach-y Christian fiction, but real Christian themes such as self sacrifice, love being putting a... morenother above oneself, transcendence beyond humanity with the Greater being Good, submission to Good and things of the like. I love taking recommendations.
