- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
read if you like:
-complex world / political system, polarization, unjust justice system and oppression,gender roles system, class struggle
- South American World building!
- complex world BUT we only learn it from the POV of the MC (which could be a problem for some i guess)
- no magic, mention of gods in world building
- very interesting take on marriage and gender roles, but still same old real world sexism and gender roles ( very frustrating for me to read but at least it's written in a bad light)
- imma say it it ends a bit in a emotional cliffhanger which drives me crazy, but it just shows that i really got invested into the story
- young love, but does feel suddenly very intense without the reader being able to relate ( still like the dynamic a lot)
- the poor main character always trying to just survive, she never really has a choice for her actions but I think we gonna see more of that in the second book, hopefully especially with her Primera skills in action, I want to see her to use it more to intimidate people and show of her education instead of pretending to be a worried lil housewife

U want similar reads?
I read three books the last 2-3 weeks, this one, the second mango and Of Fire And Stars / of Ice and Shadows(book1&2).
1)The three books can be described with these tags: fiction fantasy lgbtqia+ (young adult)
2)And they all have a main character that has her life planned for her since the day she was born and is excelling in completing all expectations ( 2 out of 3 MC at least). The strengths that they all show is with their brains, e.g. political strategist, detective work, spy work, logical thinking and/or education.they are all princesses/high political status.
3)all books invest a big part into a first big wlw romance story-line
read second mango if:
-if you want a short but wholesome read thats not very complex but funnej (could suprise you though with the plot)
-loved that the world building setting is around Jewish believes and culture
-the main character is basically a Useless Lesbian(TM).I love to see it, this awkward s*xual frustration (but no strong words / descriptions used, still fine for young people I'd say)
-it's definitely for "a lil older" young audience
-magical world setting but less focus to describe magical rules
- reads like a lil funnej little dnd one-shot
read of Fire and Stars if:
- read this one if you enjoy young love, teenage emotions/drama , horses ( first book not the second), political schemes and tiny bits of war
- it gets a lil dark but not like psychologically dark dark
- POV switches between the two love birds which i like
-second book makes great magical world building and shows the culture shock you can get when you come into a new culture as a stranger
- climaxes of the plot , really not that satisfying , too little invested into them especially the ending, but it can still be a nice read
- you can handle that the love birds will be separated for a long time for plot/ character development , and some situations definitely feel staged

- interesting characters with contradicting sides, but also very obvious clear roles ( which is fine but might feel shallow sometimes)
