Where do I even begin with this one?
For starters I'm really scared to pick up the second book in this triology. Especially with the last quarter of this book. Though a lot happened I was not surprised about.
Of cours the world was beautiful. And the descriptions had its moments to.
I want to talk about the main characters Zélie and Amari. Because there was both shock and awe of the growth and confidence. They both aren't perfect by any means. Each make huge mistakes. But are just teenagers that have to face these major obstacles. In very different life circumstances. And both do it in a way that is graceful but rightfully pissed off.
The world they live in has made them afraid and tough. But also vulnerable because of fear. Yet by the end I think are prepared for whatever happens next in the world of Orïsha. Which is sure to be chaos after the ending in this first book.
