The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu

4.0

3.5 stars. while being fairly captivating (marie lu NEVER disappoints with her amazing writing) i just didn’t really connect with the story if that makes sense? the whole kingdom of back thing confused me a bit bc it’s made up but at the same time, it actually exists? setting logic aside, it makes sense in a fairytale-esque kind of way. honestly i’d love to see illustrations of the kingdom of back; the queen of the night’s grotto especially!! (also didn’t mozart write an aria called queen of the night? clever!)
