I like Jase, but mostly because he likes Kazi and we have that in common. To be fair, he is also great and he’s also great at being both tough and kind, so I do love him for that. I don’t love him as much as Kazi though. She is just better! He also screwed up a whole bunch and made me angry a lot, but he always had good intentions and tried to make up for his mistakes, so I can’t hate him for it.
Besides the characters though, this book is still great from the writing alone. The story was so good that I was never bored, even though I took a long time to read it. Mary E Pearson was able to express the emotions of her characters in such beautiful ways that you can’t help but connect with them. For example, there’s a scene where Kazi hits her breaking point with her anger, and the way Pearson wrote it just felt like she took it straight out of my brain. I am an absolute sucker for angry women in books, and that scene alone made me love her 1000x more. I highly suggest everyone reads this book for that scene alone, I loved it so much!!
anyways, love this book, Kazi is a queen <3
