The story follows Ruti and her identity as being Markless. The entire society is run off of what mark you bear on your palm. For those without a mark, they are pushed to the outskirts and forced to survive the best they know how. I really loved the plot of this book. The magic, or lack there of in others, that we see in the slums was very interesting. The more we saw of Ruti’s gift the more I wished we had a little deeper insight of who these “gods” were. I think my only complaint is that I wanted more detail and descriptions to help me really envision what was going on. Specifically, in scenes like the forest, I couldn’t connect with what was singing vs what everyone was doing. Besides that I still think this is a nice fantasy read for anyone wanting a easy to read story.
