Love conquers all.
This book has so many reversals my head is spinning. Truly, we start with what seems an adventure story, but end up with the most incredible revelation one could possibly dream up. I gagged, and almost stopped reading. I kept on, and the adventure seemed to continue. Different characters get into various impossible, life threatening adventures. The results are never expected, and reversals are forgiven or not as alliances are made and broken or overwhelmed. There's the better, improved weapon which turns out to not be as good as thought. There are friends who are not friends and enemies who are not enemies, and everyone dies, but not. In the end lovers are reunited. Missteps are forgiven. The universe is beautiful, and everyone has only wonderful things to look forward to. Oh gag!
