+      <blockquote>
+        while it kept me awake until 3am for 3 days i really disliked the
+        tonal shift between the second and third acts. how can he portray the
+        lifestyle of the san the way he does and then have centaine tear up
+        their sacred place of ancestor worship for diamonds. then the in-world
+        justification, that it will provide "good water" for her son. to me is
+        just blatant sugarcoating of an act that clearly violates the memory
+        and principles of the people she has her life to thank for. though she
+        had already all but forgotten them, when it was time for the story to
+        move on from including o'wa and h'ani.
+        <br>
+        another gripe with the writing i've had is the way the female lead is
+        written. it is so obvious, that the author is a man of the last
+        century... centaine in both instances immediately falls for the male,
+        that is so clearly set up to be her love-interest.
+        <br>
+        The book
+        <i>is</i>
+        from 1985, that might put some of this into perspective.
