A fantasy take on colonialism and racism against Black people in America. I could not be more impressed by the world-building, including a culturally informed magic system, and cast of characters. Absolutely a must-read for all fantasy-lovers.

frog_appreciator's review against another edition

3.5

Gripping story and world. The romance with Inan absolutely ruined it for me. I thought I liked enemies to lovers but there was no ground for their connection and I was taken out of the story when he interacted with Zelie. Aside from that the authors messages shone through well.
