The Girl with the Fierce Eyes by Sophia Vahdati
Did not finish book.
3.0
I struggled to get into this book, and I’m still not entirely sure why. Whether it was the dystopian setting, the best-friend-turned-love-interest dynamic, or simply that I wasn’t in the right mood—something just didn’t click for me. I found it challenging to connect with the characters, which made the read a bit slow.
That said, the world-building was intriguing, with a modern yet dystopian feel and a quasi caste-like system that added depth and tension. While it didn’t quite work for me, I can see it appealing to readers who enjoy speculative settings, social hierarchies, and slow-burn relationships.
If dystopia with a contemporary edge is your thing, this might be worth a try.
