“You take this world and make it what it should be. And don’t let the beliefs of a backward system define you. You are the one who has to live with the future, baby girl. So you live it.”

I so wanted to like this book more than I did. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good story, I just think it could’ve been better.

This is a YA dystopian fantasy. It had magic and magical creatures like sirens and ghouls. There was also a diverse range of characters with representation from poor to high society. Feminism is a huge influence in the store - Rhen want to be a scientist in a world where women are supposed to be housewives.

It was a fun story, I just wish it was longer. In my opinion there was a lack of world development. I also feel like the competition could’ve been built up better. The whole story felt rushed, especially during the competition.

Overall it was an easy, one sitting read.
