A review by bookrecs_galore25
Diamond City by Astrid Cole
5.0
Okay so I read both Diamond and Emerald within a couple of hours, that’s how good this series is!
These books are officially in my top 3 favourite books of 2024. I haven’t read a lot of sci-fi before however I am a massive fan of dystopian. I can say that the author wrote the premise of this book really well. I was blown away by the sheer amazingness of the world-building, plot building, character profiles and descriptions and all the effort put into making a perfectly gripping series. I was a huge fan of the effort put into the history and religions and beliefs. Sage, the main female character, was so perfect to me. Even though to others around her she is pleased as a hardened warrior, we really see how emotional she really is. She feels love for a lot of people, dedication to her city, sadness for those who don’t survive the wars and an absolute devotion for her partner, Damien. Even though they do go through countless struggles throughout both books, they always prevail and find a way back to each other, which I adored. Now Damien, the male main character, was written exceptionally well in my opinion. I’m used to reading about hardened warriors with muscles upon muscles who struggle to show emotion. Damien, on the other hand, was described with a “slender frame” and fights with grace. He also cries a lot
