I liked this book a lot more than I initially thought I would. Anything that goes out of it's way to infuse a lot of religion tends to rub me the wrong way and this book definitely starts slow. However, once I got further into it, the book flew by. While I'm not sure how much of this book is rooted in fact, I felt like I learned a lot about how a sex slavery ring can function and circumvent many of the regulations we put in place.

I'm going to be honest it took me a long time to read this. Not because it's bad, it is a good story with an important antagonistic social problem that I fully think needs to be showcased and highlighted in every media outlet possible to stop what is happening. That being said I did not like the aspect of religion that was heavily prevalent in the story. This is my issue though and many readers may very well connect with the faith inspired tales of many of the characters.

If you are agnostic or atheist you will find this story too focused on the "faith" to appreciate the social issue and the importance of saving young girls from lives of forced prostitution in the under belly of Asia.

For me to have enjoyed the story more that element would have to be removed. If the preaching was taken out it would be a great thriller and the characters more likable - for me.
