nerdyforbooks_'s review against another edition
I bought this book because of the back. What an AWESOME sounding concept, two fae-touched girls, fighting across the world to reach each other in a war. Cool! I knew nothing about the controversy behind it.
This book is not cool. Let’s start with the fact that in 125 pages I know barely anything about this world. Even though the author tries to make it sound like Nox is highly educated & worldly. Then let’s touch on the fact that tokenism is literally dropped in the first… 20 pages of this book and then the POC MC is whipped for breaking a bottle of oil & bag of flour on page 44. If you can get past those super gross feeling cringe moments, color me shocked because I probably zoned out multiple times just going along from the crap filler.
I was willing to give this book the benefit of the doubt (like OK whipping during medieval times was a form of punishment if we wanna argue that angle - but I don’t even know ANYTHING ABOUT THIS WORLD to say that’s a fair argument), but uhh… all I can say is WTF. Find something better to read.
