What is that ending!! I am speechless. I got goosebumps. For all the books I’ve read, that cliffhanger was probably one of the top ten unexpected plot twist!!

she is the princess and the daughter of the rebel Tilda!!!

An incredible book, with a sad but beautiful plot, with twist and turns always around the corner and jumping up at you when you never expected them or knew you needed them but just working so perfectly together that you cant help but love the book to bits.

This book had a slow start for me, but once I had my bearings and immersed myself in the world I loved it! I was a big fan of The Hunger Games books when they came out and reading (or rather, listening to) this reminded me of the feeling I had while reading those. It’s hard to describe but I almost felt as though Kiva was keeping the reader at arms length throughout the story, which is fitting for her character as she tends to be closed off to others. This was really well written as it was intriguing rather than off-putting. 

Noni did a brilliant job of creating likeable, multi-dimensional supporting characters and I really enjoyed watching them develop their relationships with each other as well as with Kiva. There were some big reveals at the end which provided some momentum going into the second book, which I’d thankfully already lined up and have already started! I’m looking forward to seeing what direction the series heads in.

I loved this book! Read in one night. Only downside was that the (absurd amount of) plot twists felt a bit rushed.

Wow. Eminently readable, with a lush and wondrous (dark) world (being set inside a prison and all). A steady string of well integrated twists and turns, culminating with an absolute jaw dropper on the final pages. There to shed half the book, minimum, in new light. 

This is a book that will give again on the reread, for sure. 

A first in series that confidently stands alone while also leaves you scrambling for the sequel. 

Superb use of textual format and some stunning lines, not to mention a real array of characters, including explicit canonical wlw and amputee. 

Could barely put this book down, and even this scattershot review is after a solid 1( minutes of awestruck space staring upon finishing. 10/10 recommend.
