This is the 'sequel' that I wish was never written. Not because it's bad (on the contrary, I think it's the best in the series) but because it never should have happened. The Taliban shouldn't have come back, the once teenagers shouldn't need to protect themselves and others again. Parvana deserved a somewhat happy ending. But I send kudos to the author, because a book is nothing without a purpose. And there is no doubt that this book served its purpose. I still have my fingers crossed for a happy ending for Parvana and everyone she represents. It's certainly worth the read but be ready to cry. Because this book may be fiction, but it represents a lot of real problems, that real men, women and children experience.
