The Righteous by Renée Ahdieh
4.0

This was a slow starter for me, but then it eventually got going. I didn't love the shift to Pippa as the main focus. Her dedication to doing things her way was so obnoxious to the point of excessive danger. However, the story revealed more about what's going on in the Vale, which was interesting, and there were some unsettling moments with Celine and Sebastian. Arjun was probably the best part, as we learned more about his background and what it means to be ethereal. I'm curious to see where the story will go next.
