Because there are still things worth living for."

I loved it. A wonderfully written finale to the duology. Different real world topics were covered in this series, which I really appreciate (oppression, war, trauma, community, etc.). I don't have much to say that I didn't already say about the first book. I will say the pacing could use some work, but, especially for a debut series, it was really good. I'm excited to see what Nina Varela writes next.
