Is this book right for my inmate and me?

It is good for people who believe that the live that’s over they leave prison.

Review By: Just Another Reader (Inmate)

A fantasy story that hooks you and won’t let you go.

The story is about three people doing what they can to protect and save the people they care about. Dalinar is the uncle of a king who tries to keep the kingdom unifying while at war. Shallan tries to help her family from going to ruin by stealing from the princess of the kingdom. Kaladin is a slave trying to protect from dying while people only see them as shields with no armor. While they do their best, something bigger comes to turn their world upside down.

What I liked is that even when everything looked like it was going wrong and nothing they did helped, they didn’t give up. Kaladin was branded as a slave and thought his life was over he realized that life is the journey not the destination. It taught me that I still have a life after I get out that I shouldn’t give up just because people look at me with a mark. I recommend it because not only does it have good action but it keeps your hopes up about your problems.
