The dichotomy in this book was RIDICULOUSLY well-written. We have the people of Ashtown (where Cara is from) who live in poverty and are looked down upon as savages by the citizens of the walled neighboring city of Wiley. The classism of this book is so poignant, and seeing Cara trying to weave her way between these two worlds was just as important and interesting as seeing her actually travel to different worlds.
I don’t want to give away much about the plot because of how shook it made me, but if you’re looking for extremely well-written and well-plotted sapphic sci-fi that will make you think long after closing the cover, than this one’s for you.
5/5 stars
