This is a fast paced fantasy world with a cast system which reminded me of The Hunger Games.
The characters were interesting but the world building was what kept me turning the pages.
However, mid way I lost the attention towards this book, which is funny as that's when their travel begun and the adventure begins.
I still finished it, but I did lose momentum and nearly DNF. However I think I'll still give book 2 a go as I enjoyed the world and the writing.

Trigger warnings : racism , classism , homophobia , physical and mental abuse , toxic relationships, parental abuse .
This book was way more than what I expected it to be , it's not just a fantasy world but one way too similar to our won , where rules are made , people are divided and a system that supports and prefers one to another , why and since when people don't know and people are scared to question or maybe don't want to because it's just the way it has been until Nirrim does , until Sid a traveler comes in her life and makes her question everything she has been through. Makes her question why was the world divided into the way it was between high kith the ones who get to makes the rules and everything they want , earthlings the people in the middle and half kith the ones that suffer all of the consequences, over work themselves for the high kith and get nothing in return .
Nirrim is our main character who has shown to have such an amazing development throughout the book , from a timid girl who thinks about everyone else before her to someone who is ready to rebel against the system and take risks to get the answers she wants , Sid our lovely Sid , she is one of those characters who just make every scene they are in so much more charming, with her wit , flirtiness and mysterious personality she is one to look out for .
This book just in 300 pages was able to set up a magical world with characters so detailed that I was hooked right from the beginning to the end . So if you like short books with magic people and Sapphic main characters read this , read this , read this !!!
