With Fire In Their Blood by Kat Delacorte
3.0
I didn't hate this book.
It was objectively fine.
Buuuuuuut I think the pacing was off. Barely anything happened the first like 200 pages and then everything happened in what felt like half a day (It was more spread out timeline wise but it felt rushed).
Also didn't enjoy how dumb our main character was. She is forced to move to a town that barely exists to the rest of the world, learns there is magic and they have a dictator and there's weird ass blood testing in SCHOOL (can u even call that a school?) and somehow she just trusts everyone's word?? Like, girl. Keep things to yourself and also you've known these people for like 2 weeks. Calm down.
I didn't mind the little twist on the Romeo & Juliette plot but I've also read better books inspired by this "two families at war" idea.
