Started off strong but I just got bored and couldn't fully get into the characters or story after part 1.

"They're not your motherlands," said Letty. "They don't have to be."

This book was fabulous. The first half is interesting and whimsical following a student and his friends. But it turns into this fight for pride, reckoning, and sacrifice. The last couple chapters were quite beautiful.

I'm giving it four stars because I felt a loss of interest through the middle and some of the writing was a bit unnecessary. But I truly enjoyed it.
