This was a fantasy like no other I’ve ever read. I had a hard time getting into it since you’re thrown into the world without much explanation. But, when I got to the end, I was so invested in Awa and Djola’s stories! Their sacrifices and willingness to do anything for their world was beautiful. 

The writing was so unique, too. Some chapters were even written from the POV of animals and trees! It wasn’t my favorite book ever, but it certainly was fascinating.
