Book Description:
"Accepting a displeasing future is just as bad as creating it."
A story of time traveling, atonement, and prophecies, set in a world inspired by Malaysia’s complex history and mystical creatures, Be Kind, Rewind revolves around superior beings called Anak Permata and how their existence caused imminent conflicts between different communities in the region of Bulan.
The novel is a harrowing exploration of morality and evolution in the eyes of a reluctant Time Traveller and Si Tanggang’s own descendant, Tuan Sulaiman Seroja, who was given a task by a sentient heirloom to change the fate of Anak Permatas and in a way, hers as well.
