savage fortress book review

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?
