4.5

those plot twists were actually insane. i never knew what was happening. i’d recommend this book sorely off of how cool the premise was, but it’s such a fun read. 4.5/5!

What is that ending!! I am speechless. I got goosebumps. For all the books I’ve read, that cliffhanger was probably one of the top ten unexpected plot twist!!

she is the princess and the daughter of the rebel Tilda!!!

Considering I know mostly read NA fantasy, this was the first YA fantasy I’ve read in months that I’ve devoured and absolutely loved. Challenging and really realistic themes from real history at times in the book reminiscent of WW2 labour camps. But over and above that, the characters and their personalities, the world building and the twists & turns were fantastic! I half predicted things but not in the way I thought, so I am super excited for the 2nd book!

This story never seemed to fully pull me in. It was good enough, and certainly an interesting premise, but I never felt drawn to continuing. The twist at the end also felt very out of character

This book had a slow start for me, but once I had my bearings and immersed myself in the world I loved it! I was a big fan of The Hunger Games books when they came out and reading (or rather, listening to) this reminded me of the feeling I had while reading those. It’s hard to describe but I almost felt as though Kiva was keeping the reader at arms length throughout the story, which is fitting for her character as she tends to be closed off to others. This was really well written as it was intriguing rather than off-putting.

Noni did a brilliant job of creating likeable, multi-dimensional supporting characters and I really enjoyed watching them develop their relationships with each other as well as with Kiva. There were some big reveals at the end which provided some momentum going into the second book, which I’d thankfully already lined up and have already started! I’m looking forward to seeing what direction the series heads in.
