The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
4.0
When we revise the horror and sanitize the grotesque, we risk erasing the paths that led us here. History is a myth shaped by the tongues of conquerors.
4.5 stars that I'm almost tempted to round up because it's been AGES since I genuinely enjoyed a YA Fantasy novel!

Truly a blessing. RTC.
