"Storytelling was the most honored of all talents, for it benefited everyone."

"No point in ignoring the truth. Doesn't make it worse to have it said out loud." -Jeb

"Human lives were so impossibly tangled."

This made me cry. Automatic 5 stars.

adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

Fantasy sci fi vibes, much better writing that twilight, devoured most of this in a day and really enjoyed even though it's not my usual thing!!

def kinda trashy tweeny, but enjoyable nonetheless. vaguely sparked some interesting thoughts about how you define "human" or "soul". a little long for a YA book though

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

So many plot holes. I started marking them in the margins. The final straw was the detail about stalagmites/tites in a lava tube. *sigh* Close book, throw in trash.
