The Desert Wall by Raf Morgan
5.0
This is the best book I've read in a long time. First, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and was the first thing that caught my eye. I love stories set near deserts and this delivers in spades. The magic system felt fresh and interesting. I loved how the main character had to build bridges between all of the characters, and in light of her upbringing the occasional piece of wisdom made sense.
I love each of the characters fiercely and would adopt all of them in a heartbeat! I actually had a moment (you'll know when), where I thought, well, crap, now I have to adopt this grown man too. They tug on my heartstrings. <3 <3 <3
I loved the strong female friendships formed in this book, it is rare that I read about women forming such close friendships and bonds in a way that it realistic. I really enjoyed the three vicious girls in this book.
This didn't feel like a NA, YA or MG book to me, just a fantasy book with protags who were younger and that is refreshing. Highly recommend!
