...because the author, Burak Özcan, skillfully incorporates vivid analogies like the one mentioned, which adds depth and excitement to the narrative. These comparisons resonate with readers and showcase the author's talent.
​
...because the story is filled with gripping suspense and can be read in one breath. As a native of Gelibolu, I felt proud while reading it. Moreover, I haven't come across a novel that portrays the Gallipoli Wars in such a beautiful manner. Additionally, the story takes place in the present day, making it even more relatable.
...because while reading the book, I felt a strong urge to visit Gelibolu myself. And so, I did. I passed by the places and locations mentioned in the novel, imagining the characters there. Later, I sat on Conk Bayırı (Conk Hill) and reread a few chapters of the book. It's a thrilling, captivating, and enjoyable adventure that evokes the essence of Gelibolu. Burak Özcan's future books are eagerly anticipated.
