i have written about book one before and my troubles building a connection to the hero's of the story.
i am now in the first third of the second book and i am confused about the factions in the book.
Now the Shafit are the halfbloods
the rest of the groups are full bloods
the book explains that they all believe in blood purity but the dad a are the actual people that murdered and tortured the sjafit for not being full blood and that want everyone that is not them dead or subjugated
it's gotten so bad at one point that the dave's behaviour caused a war. the daeva send dara to murder, torture and bury alive a whole city. the books describe how he killed babies, castrated children and buried people alive or flailed them to death.
he's not sorry about that either
nor are the Daeva in the book. on the contrary they want those times back.
i've just reached the part we're Muntadihr told Nahri that she and Dara caused Jamshids wounds and …she's outraged and the other Daeva tells her she is rightfully outraged because they are daeva and the others just sandflies and how dare they.
is the book actually trying to sell me Fascists as the hero's? will there be anything revealed in the coming story that somehow makes the daeva story out to be a lie?
I wonder if it's because i am older that i don't grasp the young characters but the book seems to tell me that the one character that wants fairness for all is a religious zealot.
i don't understand why i am told the Nazis of this books society are actually the hero's but then the book is slow to reveal all the back story.
can someone spoil the daeva story to me?
thanks because i am really baffled how character growth is supposed to erase the celebration of fascists in this book
