adventurous hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I cannot believe this is a debut novel! it is a stunning, emotional, empowering, hopeful, absolutely masterful work about equity and equality and how the oppression of one is the oppression of all. I am so relieved that the sequel comes out soon because I need more Alamaxa in my life pronto
