I really enjoyed this series, though the first was probably my favorite. I appreciated that the main character had to struggle and learn and make mistakes and wasn't immediately accepted or immediately all-powerful. Some fantasy book tropes can make the main character too all powerful and lose the compelling nature of the struggle. Understanding this is YA, I loved the complexity that Briana presented. The overlap between racism and evil and entrenched power was palpable. Definitely recommend this one for those that love YA/Fantasy and challenging the status quo.
