this book came out swinging from page one. the stakes were so high from the very beginning and the suspense had me sweating like i was one of the characters. mary e pearson has a gift for delivering excellent characters with compelling backstories. a lot of authors give all the attention to main characters while leaving the supporting ones in the dirt. mrs pearson is NOT one of them. fantastic writing, world building, characters, plot, found family AND romance. mary e pearson put it all into this book and delivered it in a pretty red cover.
definitely way up there with the giants of ya fantasy, i will never not recommend!

it’s been a week and i just wanted to come back here and say i’m in a reading slump because i’m not over his book. it was so well done i can’t even.
