Fin da subito il romanzo è diviso in capitoli che riguardano il tempo presente e ciò che è venuto in passato; racconta in particolare di una ragazza che diventa donna; l'amore di una madre per i propri figli; la ricerca della forza di andare avanti e di trovare un nuovo futuro per sé stessi. Ciò che può potenzialmente portare verso la libertà o verso la dannazione; la possibile, non così probabile sopravvivenza.
Nel corso di tutto il libro abbiamo questa dualità: forse si intuisce il percorso generale, ma i dettagli sono tutti estremamente originali e difficilmente predicibili.
Si affrontano temi importanti come la famiglia, le pressioni sociali, quanto sia bello ma limitante vivere in una campana di vetro; il coraggio di fare scelte importanti, di lasciarsi dietro tutto ciò che si conosce per le persone che si ama; e come, per le persone che si ama, sia a volte necessario fare grossi sacrifici.
Mi ha sorpreso e appassionato; ho letto il libro blindfolded, e sapere poco o niente sulla trama ha fatto sì che potessi sorprendermi a mano a mano che la narrazione andava avanti.
Non avevo idea di quale fosse l'elemento "Fantasy" della storia, ossia chi sono i "divoratori di libri", ed è stata una sorpresa che mi ha incuriosito molto e invogliato a leggere. Mi piacerebbe che qualcun altro avesse la mia stessa esperienza. Magari si possono leggere i Trigger Warning, ma a parte quello consiglio di andare blindfolded.

Devon and Cai are a whirl-wind. I love their love-hate, mother-son relationship and their internal battles. It's such a cool concept and the world-building just lent itself into this absolutely incredibly dark, twisted atmosphere that just blew me away.
Only deducting 0.25 off I feel like there will be another book in the future to carry on the story, but I don't know if I want it.
