Book review of The Savage Fortress by Sarwat
Chadda
The main character keeps saying that he isn’t a
hero and yet he learns what it is to be a hero.
He learns that to be the hero isn’t to save the day, but to have the
courage to keep fighting and to conquer fear.
He puts his sister and family above all else to the point of not using
his brain to think things through.
His whole
worlds is constantly being turned over and made worse and yet he continues on
with hope. Would he have reacted
differently with foreknowledge? Since
this is about reincarnation, does that mean it is about karma? Does his young life have a meaning or is he
simply doomed to the same destiny of being a warrior?
