I let my gaze draw lines here, too, from building to building, from tree to tree, from buried lives to beaten ones, from blood stolen to blood hidden. I map this terrain's sins, the invisible and the many, and hold them close. Because even if the pain of those sins takes my breath away, that pain feels like belonging, and ignoring it after all I've just witnessed would be loss.

I'm almost in disbelief at how phenomenal this book is. I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fantasy lover, but this book goes far beyond the trope-ification of YA fantasy. Tracy Deonn has a real talent for the written word, and you can feel the love she has for this book on every page.
