This book was phenomenal! I truly did not expect to like it as much as I did. I loved the different culture and the unique premise. The characters were all so loveable and unique and the main character was flawed and not perfect though trying her best.
It deals with sexism in such an interesting way and it was truly empowering to read it. This is definitely a book that will stick with me for a long time. I might even reread it one day but for now I just really want to read the sequel. I'm happy that it's a Duology since I don't really have time to read something longer right now. I also liked that the ending was closed even though the story itself obviously isn't.
I thought that the review by Nic which is on the blurb sums up the center of the story pretty well. This book is about "our most basic of human desires: to belong, to be loved, and to walk a path of one's own choosing".
I'm excited to dive back into this world again very soon. I would recommend this book to any lover of Fantasy and especially people who like a bit of social commentary and well thought out plots in their books ;)

This story has no business being this good! It is so well thought out, and and twists are so good. I loved this world, and the magic. It is such a fantastic world to get lost in.
Tarisai, our young MC. She was raised away from society with her mother restricting all of her information and even keeping her from the touch of people around her. She was born for a specific mission, but she doesn't know it yet. Not yet knowing what that is and if she will have a choice to fight what is coming.
This book has found family, lost magic and amazing twists and turns. I haven't been this excited about a YA fantasy since I read Children of Blood and Bone or Skyhunter.
HIGHLY recommend ππΌπ
