Easily became one of my favorite books of all time. Captivating world-building, and personal connection to the characters.

I guess this wasn't for me. I really really loved Priory of the Orange Tree, do I wanted to read her previous work, but this one isn't my style. The dystopian world, the +1000 love interest, the het romance that I didn't care about at all. Some ideas were very interesting, in itself the éter and the different ways they can interact with it. The found family trope could have sold me if the capó wasn't such a dick that only values her power and turns her into a commodity, a product to acquire, posses ownership of and destroy whenever it doesnt follow his orders.
