This novel seems to follow the classic hero villain plot where the heroes come out victorious and enjoy happy lives that they get from their efforts. Maybe it seems that heroes have flaws and that they can be made up for if you have the right virtues to overcome those negative qualities.
It’s too bad that the story is over. It seems like it was a very interesting book. I like how you were able to draw a conclusion about the book that relates to your topic. It will be something that I will be looking forward to in your future readings.
