Carly Cooper
I actually really liked this story. While the connection between the main character running away and meeting this man who has discovered a secret in one of the main characters ancestor's works is vague it is also powerful in regards to the end of the story. The parts of the story about him running away for his life were interesting to read and captivating as I was also wondering if he would escape or be caught. However the discovery about Ts'ui Pen's book and what it means was even more interesting and really give you something to think about. The way that if time were ignored and events could be repeated the outcomes are infinite and anything is possible is certainly something that can occupy the mind for hours on end. I could probably sit and wonder what could have happened in anyone situation of my own life and that is why the discovery is so amazing. while I didnt understand where Madden came from, I thought it was very interesting the way the spy knew he would die and therefore, in order to get his information to his people, killed the man with the name of the city he was to warn them about.
