My personal reading taste isn't that into YA or softer magic systems so some of the how the author's prose just feeling very modern or the softer magic system didn't fully land for me but I still enjoyed the book.
Great representation at the end of the day.

So many facets of this story went unexplored, though the premise and socio-political implications made me wish for an entire historical account of The Speaker Society, and resistance to it.
Just like with his other two novels, Andrew Joseph White begins his stories with warnings that you may want to opt out. It is packed with multiple kinds of violence, gore, and death, and shies away from no details. I appreciate that the author took care to research historical accuracies regarding the horrible ways humans have ruined each other.
