5.0

This book is a 10/10 for me. It’s so well written, and the characters and plot are perfectly developed. The struggle of the story is directly related to the black experience in the world and especially in contemporary America. This is a story anyone of any age or background could enjoy and learn from. I am excited to read the sequel.

4.0

I really enjoyed reading this book - it was adventurous and the world building was absolutely fantastic. No details were unnecessary and I really felt involved in the fantasy world. It had been a while since I read a book like this and I did really enjoy it. The only reason it doesn’t get higher than 4 was because of the

Spoiler

romance subplot that i didn’t really believe and didn’t want

But other than that, a big mix of heartbreaking and joy was felt during this reading.

Where do I even begin with this one?

For starters I'm really scared to pick up the second book in this triology. Especially with the last quarter of this book. Though a lot happened I was not surprised about.

Of cours the world was beautiful. And the descriptions had its moments to.

I want to talk about the main characters Zélie and Amari. Because there was both shock and awe of the growth and confidence. They both aren't perfect by any means. Each make huge mistakes. But are just teenagers that have to face these major obstacles. In very different life circumstances. And both do it in a way that is graceful but rightfully pissed off.

The world they live in has made them afraid and tough. But also vulnerable because of fear. Yet by the end I think are prepared for whatever happens next in the world of Orïsha. Which is sure to be chaos after the ending in this first book.
