About
You’ll likely connect with this if you want a tense, humane drama about migration and desperation, with the street-level pressure of Les Misérables; Not for you if you want light escapism or neat, comforting resolutions.
Pros: tense survival story; moving empathy; strong central bond | Cons: uneven pacing; some plot holes; occasionally convoluted
