The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson

5.0

I honestly loved this book. Elisa is a great main character, Hector is a revelation, and all the rest (too many to list) are so well written and well rounded that putting this book down was akin to leaving people that I’ve known for years. The characterization in this novel makes your feel like you are there with them. You feel what they feel. You smile when they smile, you cry when they cry. I love being immersed in a world like this. Bravo to Rae Carson for weaving a world that I was proud to live in for a little while. Definitely recommend you give it a read. You won’t regret entering the world of Joya de Arena and all the people within.
