This book definitely stays with you a long time after finishing it. I liked it a lot but the female characters felt a little flat and sometimes felt like they existed only to serve the development of the main character

YA dystopian duology + Indigenous cast!

In a dystopian world, the people are going mad having lost the ability to dream. The only ones with the ability to do so are North America's Indigenous people. Their marrow holds the cure for the rest of the world, but getting the cure means death.

Frenchie, and the rest of the cast, are doing everything they can to survive and not be caught by recruiters who will take them to the factories to have their marrow taken from them.

Read if you love...

✨YA dystopian

🫶🏼found family

✨sci-fi / fantasy vibes

Okay, so first off, this book is not my usual. I'm not a sci-fi / fantasy person. But I've found I generally do okay with YA dystopian, so I was good with giving this duology a chance & I'm so glad I did because I binged both books back to back!

The premise fascinated me. But it was also heartbreaking.

I adored Frenchie, the MC, and the cast of side characters. And that they all were in both books, so we got closure in what happens to the characters while also learning more about them throughout both books. The found family was wonderful!

I loved how much depth book two added to book one in learning more about Frenchie's past and family.

Honestly, I feel like everything else I want to say is a spoiler. So please read these so we can talk about them!

✨Representation: Indigenous cast

‼️Content: please check StoryGraph because there are many & they are graphic
