Reading this felt like reverting back to my pre-teen Mortal Instruments obsessed self - which I mean in the best possible way. While the language tends towards overly poetic and flowery and the pace of the plot as a result feels painstaking, Mafi begins with a pretty simple dynamic between two diametrically opposed characters and slowly unfurls the intricate threads of the political around them. Very very fun if you want to take a trip down 2014 YA lane.
