This is NOT YA. Stop trying to normalize sexual content in YA.

I was completely blown away by this book. Unfortunately I cannot go into how much without giving too much away. Wonderfully executed. If you want something that engages a troupe and makes it better you are in for a ride. Fair warning this society is doing, and has done, brutal things to each other. It’s at times shocking and devastating. Definitely dark and dangerous. That ending crushed me. I cannot wait for the next one.

I really really enjoyed this! Original, the characters were both intelligent, and genuine inner and outer conflicts that didn't have easy solutions. The ending was gut wrenching, and the twists were genuinely surprising! For once, I thought the dual POV here was perfectly done, and it gave us so much inner turmoil that really drove these characters. It has the whimsy of YA fantasy but the real, gritty components of genuine heartbreak, grief, and guilt. I can't wait for the conclusion!
