Okay, wow. This book was so good!! This book had me captivated and intrigued from the very beginning. I had so many emotions while reading this book - I was happy, sad, tense, angry - I was giggling, gasping, yelling in frustration - just a rollercoaster. What I think I really enjoyed the most about this book was how much it made me think. It felt very *relevant* and important, and challenged the structure of a lot of things that are still pretty prevalent in today's world. Namina did an incredible job of pulling me into this world and into these character's stories, and I am excited to read what happens next.
