This is a heavy read. Lei was slightly frustrating as a character mostly because she had a tendency to think and act in the moment and not think long term.

Wren was a good balance to this and I loved them together.

I will be interested to read the next book!

A YA fantasy with lesbian characters ? Like yes very much, sign me in !! 
Although you should know for me the main theme of this book is rape and it's consequences so you should definetely be aware of that !
