When I was reading enchantress from the stars, I noticed a pretty constant theme of sacrifice throughout the whole book. What with Ilura sacrificing her life for the mission, Terwyn sacrificing his life after attacking the soldiers, and Elana Willing to sacrifice her life for the mission if necessary.
In the first example, When Ilura sacrifices herself to avoid discovery of the ship. Not only does she feel that sacrifice, but everyone who was on the mission felt the pain of that loss.

Even though I had to sacrifice my time, it paid off, because I enjoyed it very much.
In conclusion, sacrifice is something that we all have to experience one way or another. However, more often than not, it is usually good because some sacrifices can lead to success or progress on a larger
