Reviewed by GabrieleSome nice ideas. Path of the Hand is quite an exciting idea, as far as religious considerations of any kind are concerned. The ending is wow. Otherwise: a very slow story, lacking intelligent climaxes. In my opinion, the book is not interesting for young adults. They will surely expect more than dull, untold love affairs.
