Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim
4.0

Writing style was very good, easy to read and held a great tone. Tara does an amazing job as capturing the voices of Cayo and Amaya and making their chapters distinctive. I really liked the city of Moray and the political tensions established in the world building. I especially liked the excerpts from different tales and books at the start of each chapter. I think Amaya is one of my favorite female characters ever, along side Liesl and Deadshot. Amaya was so messy and brash, but filled with heart and morals. I loved seeing her battle with herself and her choices, and in the end she could only do what she thought was best at the moment.

Liesl and Deadshot are the best wives and I love their relationship so much. I also really liked Cayo and how he developed through the story, starting to gain some agency to take his life in his own hands.

Overall, great story, great characters, and great writing. Really looking forward to Ravage next.
