Silence by Michelle Sagara
5.0
I enjoyed this book immensely. The protagonist was practical without being calculating, kind without being a pushover, smart without being obnoxious, interesting without being complicated, and just generally likable in a way that I find rare in young adult novels these days. She had a level head, an empathy and a common sense that made her incredibly identifiable and real.
The premise was also engrossing, and avoided info dumps that often accompany intricate world building. The pace flowed naturally, and although the audience was feed small snippets of information before the protagonist, it never felt like we left her behind or outpaced her in any way. A gradual build to a satisfying conclusion, the plot never felt slow or padded.
Highly recommended, great read. Looking forward to the next in the series!
