    This book has very strong moral principles. It's not about some kind of saintly kindness, but rather a clear distinction between right and wrong, and a well-defined bottom line. The protagonist is ruthless towards enemies, doesn't implicate the innocent, and will risk his life to protect his own people. From beginning to end, he can clearly distinguish between what should and shouldn't be killed. Maintaining this clarity in a world where people are treated like dirt is far more difficult than simply engaging in violence. If you're looking for something intelligent, well-rounded, and with sound morals, this book is worth your time. (Be sure to read to the end.)
