It's tragic that Nassun, in a fit of rage, comes to understand her father's filicidal outbursts—but can't quite make the connection that what she aims to do with her fear and hatred is just as evil as what Jija did to Uche with his.

So close! Just a wee bit more self-reflection and she'd get there…

Ah, but we're only a quarter of the way through the book. There's time and hope for Nassun yet.
