This is a very interesting YA fantasy. My first Brandy Sandy book too! This man loves his world building. I loved that then world building was built into the story and not aside in a massive info dump. The story was very unique, but the first half was still VERY SLOW. there was 8 chapters of just talking about getting married to a God before learning much but the colors. HOWEVER, the color power system based on breaths was pretty cool. It did also feel like the whole book ended very quickly, and the entire book wrapped in the last 50 pages. Everything happened all at once, and then ended pretty abruptly. I'm still going back and forth with myself in how much I may have loved it or not, but I definitely did LIKE it.
