storykeeper_saga's review
I gave it the good old college try, but it just was so bad. The worldbuilding was really amazing, and that doesn't excuse racism, sexism, rape threats against a 14 year old disabled girl, said girl getting her blindness magically cured, and a weird focus on breasts and nipples.

The attempted gang rape early on put me off. I didn't go in expecting that

overall, i did enjoy this book! it was fhe first ever novel i’ve read of Rollins and i was not too disappointed.
albeit i did like the cast of characters, i feel as if there were a tad stereotypical (?) and the pov switching was a little distracting and hard to keep up with in the beginning, which then made it quite difficult to catch on to what the main conflict was. however the overall plot itself was interesting
undecided if i want to read the second book later this year
ps: also i read this for a school project hence why i dragged out how long i read it lol
