This book is INCREDIBLE. For YA, it’s striking, exciting, timely, and vast in both character arcs and plot. I think there’s something so powerful about giving someone who is seen as a slave the power to reclaim themselves. And that’s just what this book is. I’d pay serious money to see Alein and Laia meet. Also, the depth of Elias’s character is just going to be amazing and I know it. ✨

Ready for book two NEEEOOOWWW.
