The clash between these compelling characters will keep you on the edge of your seat.
When asking about Key Themes of “Winds of Change” she replies,
“Even during war times, there are two sides to every story, but the bottom line is; that hate and vengeance have a way of coming back at those who dish it out.”
The author is conveying that in times of conflict, there are typically multiple perspectives and narratives to consider. However, the core message is that negative emotions such as hate and the pursuit of vengeance tend to have consequences, often returning to affect those who initially harbor and act upon them.
