This wasn’t my type of book. I read it for school and didn’t really enjoy it. It was well written just not my favorite genre.

Felt like this book was good but hard to read. Good character development but emotional and a little repetitive. A little one note in places.

A truly powerful book that shows what could happen if we continued down the road that our country has been heading. Vali is a strong character, and I really felt for her throughout her journey. I can't find any info about there being a sequel, but this book definitely leaves that possibility open, and I hope we can see Vali kind of grow from being strong out of desperation to being strong out of a choice, which I think we would see based on how I imagine the sequel would go.
