Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
The worst problem with this story is the "head hopping." The narrator's point of view jumps from character to character in the same scene. There's a lot of telling instead of showing. There isn't really much of a story here either; the background is told entirely as an infodump. The characters aren't appealing either. Ifana is almost completely passive, so she's not much of a focus character, while Ulenge is such a caricature that it's hard to feel anything for him--hate or otherwise.
