Wow, what a beautifully written opening! I always love when a book shows you the power and lushness of its writing in the few pages, and the opening to this book did not disappoint. THE FINAL STRIFE is slow-paced and intriguing — I kept wanting to come back to it and know what was happening. It deals with themes of oppression and capitalism. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the map in the finished copy because this world/kingdom/empire has a lot of sections that are separated by the different castes. I’m excited for this book to enter the world and have others gush about it; make sure you pre-order it!
THE FINAL STRIFE features the following rep: trans, non-binary, recovering addict, chronic pain, and PTSD.
