The Merciless Ones by Namina Forna
4.0
A great audiobook! The narration is fantastic (one of the best narrations I’ve listened to!), and the story flows smoothly.
Deka and Britta’s friendship is heartwarming, modeling how deep, supportive, and essential friendships can be. This was my favorite relationship to follow.
It was lovely to hear how deeply Deka’s friends and alaki cared for each other and made me crave belonging to a caring community full of different people and personalities.
I was also moved by the descriptions and insight of characters’ emotions and pain, and how people took different approaches in caring for each other.
Although all of these are so simple, it’s actually quite rare for me to find such insight and depth in friendships and community love. What a lovely YA story. I’m looking forward to the last book.
