5.0

I am LOVING this book. The vibes and voice are gripping, the characters are flawed and compelling and multi-faceted, and the murder mystery has me hooked. I'm here for the abundance of recent novels (especially YA) where the protagonists wrestle with oppressive religious systems that look eerily similar to real life deconstruction. If you liked This Vicious Grace, pick up Seven Faceless Saints!

Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for the eARC.

[Edited] If you’re looking for something to fill the Shadow & Bone season 2-shaped hole in your heart, might I recommend SEVEN FACELESS SAINTS? Filled with magic, conviction, murder mystery, and romance, this upper YA novel takes place in an Italian-inspired fantasy city threatened by external war and internal rebellion! (CW: war, parent death)
