The Deepest Roots by Miranda Asebedo
4.0

I really give this book 4.5 stars. I enjoyed so much of this book. It portrayed such a great friendship between the three girls. Hell, all the female characters were written so well and were given so much strength. They all felt real and relatable. Despite this having a bit of magic, so much of this was believable and readers can definitely connect with the circumstances and attitudes of the characters.

If I had to critique the book on anything, it would be the climax. Or more specifically, the "villain" of the climax. I personally don't feel like that was necessary. Also, the resolution to that conflict was a little too neatly wrapped up. The actual ending was beautiful and had me tearing up, but that particular part didn't feel as strong to me.

Overall, though, this was a wonderful book. The romance didn't even bug me that much, as it wasn't really the focus of the story. The focus was on these women-- both the main three and others before them-- struggling to survive and the strength they show in enduring despite all their hardships. You want a feminist story? Read this book.
