A review by paladinboy
Illuminations by T. Kingfisher

5.0

This is most definitely a YA book, but it has Kingfisher's signature hope rather than the angsty-ness common in those books.   It caught me so off-guard at several points in the story I had to put the book down for fear that our main character would be emotionally hurt because "of course someone is going to be mean to her".  But I should have trusted that Kingfisher would not let me down and have reasonable and caring people their stories.
