Y'all. I am so glad I read this novella. It was so amazing! I saw it recommended by saidbyjess (Jess) and bookslikewhoa (Mara) on YouTube and I am soooo glad that I picked it up. 
The concept is so incredible. The writing is just so well done and really brings the concept to light. I can't even put into words how amazing it was. And it's a short read! Definitely recommend that more people  read this. 
It explores hate and racism but in a fantasy setting - with those elements at the core of explaining what's going on. 

Definitely recommend. Check out trigger warnings though!

 thought this was gonna be 4 stars but I just can't rate it lower than 5. with great characters (including a charming stud that openly flirts w/ and picks up women, loves it), some terrifying creatures and a heart-pounding climax, what more could I ask for?
