This book was great. I have alreday read 6 rooster books is this is one of the best! I liked how Kek was very brave through out the whole story. Great novel by the author! Two thumbs up.

I couldn'put it down because it was one of those cliffhanger books.
It is so sad how some people have lost all these loved ones and how they survive without them.It gets happier and happier towards the ending. Kek discovers hope.
