This is one of the best books I have read, like possibly ever? Such amazing writing, captivating plot, loveable characters and a strong protagonist I never stopped rooting for. This book has it all. The romance isn't too overpowering, the explanations of the tribe and the culture are just right to understand without sounding condescending, and the story is tense enough to keep me on the edge of my seat, teasing me and making me keep coming for more without getting too frustrated. The author must feel so proud of having written something so good, genuinely.
