It is so true that we tend to judge people who look different and are from different cultures. I guess it is human nature but we must detract from this approach. Thank you for an amazing review.

What a great review! While this isn't a genre I typically select, I'm rethinking that due to your thought-provoking description of the plot and characters. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for this beautiful Exposition...
Thank you for the beautiful comment. Xenophilia is irrational and it is keeping humanity apart. I hope we see a change in the future

That approach has never worked. I really hope we will see a change in the future.

Science fiction is one of the genres I'd usually choose over the others. I also believe in the book's premise of inclusion and acceptance of differences and uniqueness in attaining harmony and peace. Thank you for your enlightening review.

This sounds like a great book to read particularly if you like science fiction. I don't and I am already curious about the story and characters. Thanks for a great review.

The book sounds so sad and as a South African i feel guilty for having witnessed xenophobia and did nothing. On the other hand iam totally against it and always teach people that we all brothers and sisters. Peace and love.
