5.0

This is probably about a 4.5 star book, with half a star docked for not quite living up to its worldbuilding potential. But I'm rounding up because it read well and hooked me despite the teenage protagonist. In a way, it reminded me of the Westmark Trilogy, but quieter and more introspective. At first, I thought the ending was flawed, but then I figured out how we could have gotten there. Definitely left me with a sweet but melancholy taste in my mouth.
