~ Amazing, Dystopian-Fantasy! ~
I loveddd this book!!!!! The characterization and world building were just sooo good and so much fun to read!!
•
The concept of the glory races and the island was just so cool and I loved spending time in this world! It gave me some 2012 dystopian nostalgia, but the plot and fantasy aspect made it so much more fun and intriguing! Also this had a really really amazing and well written battle scene and I don’t know why it really stood out to me, but it did, and I loved it!
•
Koral was a great protagonist and I really love when authors create protagonists that are unapologetically human! I really loved how Koral was just trying to survive and make it out alive and it just felt so realistic. Too often in dystopias, characters are focused on sacrificing themselves for others and the greater good at all costs, so it was very refreshing to have a character that only had the headspace for self preservation for her and her family!
•
Dorian was a fun side character and I loved the rivalry and history between him and Koral! The other races were fun as well and each added something different to the plot! Crane was a really interesting best friend and I loved her and Koral’s determination to stay friends despite their slowly shifting motivations and loyalties!
•
I’m going to need a sequel asap and I highly recommend you pick this one up!! It was sooo good and I looked forward to every free moment I got to pick this one up and read more!!
