I don't know what I thought this book was going to be about, but I had no idea..I just had no idea. I didn't know the depth of content matter, the breadth of the subjects covered, the raw pain my heart would feel as I listened with a knot in my throat. Both the story and the narrator chilled me to my core. If you can access this on audio, I recommend it - I loved hearing her speak the languages I don't speak.
My heart broke with Daunis from start to finish, and my eyes were opened to so much more than I could ever describe. This book will be a lot for sensitive readers, and I have a hard time thinking of it as Young Adult - mostly because the MC is more mature than pretty much any character I've ever read...
It's January 25, and I'm calling it - this will be the most important fiction book I read this year.

Once I was hooked though that was it. I finished the book in a matter of hours because I just had to know how it ended and if Justice was served. There are many lessons to be learned from this book. Lots of little tidbits of information that I can remember my grandmother telling me that I had almost forgotten. If nothing else, it’s a good read for those tidbits alone.
