An explosive debut fantasy.
I loved this book. Koral is my favorite kind of character, one who just doesn’t give up no matter what the world throws at her. While the plot meandered a bit at the beginning, she propelled me through to the intense and climactic second half. Also, with that ending, I’m pretty desperate for a sequel.
The world was my favorite aspect of this book, and, to me, the part that stood out the most from a very crowded YA market. It was this crazy mix of brutal and breathtaking, futuristic sci fi mixed with survivalist fantasy and monsters. It felt like a mash up in the best way. As a stand-alone, I think it left some things unresolved that should have been addressed, but I am assuming this is a set up for a sequel where more of these questions will be answered.
Overall, I eagerly await for more from Berwah!
