The book magnificently deals with the issue of violence in the world mainly due to hatred with each other's identity whether it is religion or sect. A masterpiece. I give it 4/4 rating.

I gave it a rating of 2 out of 4 stars because because generally the book failed to live up to its description as an outer space fantasy. It was a fantasy but it was based on an alien planet and not in outer space, and that was disappointing.

This is not a novel for those who cannot bear the descriptions of mutilations, group rapes, and in itself the misogynist look towards these ideas and their justification.
It could be said that all the barbaric events come as the natural answer to what is allowed in the period where the story is contextualized, but this would only be a poor justification for the misogynistic and repulsive descriptions that the author decided to write throughout more than a thousand pages. (Who cares how many fingers you put inside a girl's vagina before raping her? Or, whether the brains did or did not come out of the skull after stabbing it five times?) Nothing can justify this more than the focus the author himself has on those matters and that makes me conclude once again: Some men should be forbidden to write.
It is a very long book to put up with things like this.
Also, if even half of the sex scenes had been omitted, it would have gone to 500 pages very easily.
But in the end, the story has a closed conclusion and all the ends are tied by the end as well, so I must admitted that it is well structured. What's more, it would have been a really good story, one that I would have been happy to recommend to everyone, if only someone else had written it. 2/5
