Sometimes YA is amazing, but sometimes the angsty teens are just too angsty, and one cannot take it any more

Strong debut novel in an interesting world with a very cool magic system. I appreciated how Elara and Faron communicated with each other, even if I was occasionally frustrated by the fact that the conversations I was most interested in seemed to be taking place off the page. The writing is descriptive and lovely. The pacing was slightly off for me; the first half was a little slow, but the last 80 pages or so are action packed. I will definitely be picking up the second book, I am really looking forward to seeing how the events of the last few chapters play out.
Graphic: War
Moderate: Racism and Violence
