I absolutely loathe middle grade books for the most part with the exception of a couple of books including Furthermore. I find them not gritty enough, however, I'm fine with like children's picture books. Yes, this book was dark... yeah darkly awesome. People need to calm down. Did anyone not read Scary Stories back in elementary school? That pretty much had cannibalism going down! Lol! I have an eight-year-old myself who has already read all the Harry Potter books, so I would have no problem with her reading this.

I feel like kids that haven't had the best upbringing could also relate to the main character, because she has had a hard life herself. The struggle is displayed very well through Mafi's beautiful words. The originality and world is what had me captivated the entire book.

My one request is dear God let their be a YA book or NA book on these characters!!
