“You will find a way to make a life you love.”
“Freedom has a price. People who want easy & pretty stay in their cages.”
Spoiler
the fact that not only was it a forced marriage, but forced polygamy at that was a unique concept; having each wife serve a different purpose also helped to give a level of control over them that neither could connect with the other, just what was the same.Spoiler
I wanted to punch BOTH Mateo and Sota, I just didn’t like either of them and I don’t trust themSpoiler
the amount of double-agent-ness between both Carmen & Jasmin was crazy to me because how many more women within the rich and healthy are spies for La Voz?Spoiler
I straight up thought Dani was going to die at the end, like she’s be able to kiss a girl and feel love and then die by FIRE, I was ready to mourn</spoilerSpoiler
After when Carmen did, and all the Dani was dragged through, I don’t know if I’d trust ever again or help either side to do anythingGraphic: Alcoholism, Alcohol, Blood, Car accident, Fire/Fire injury, Medical content, Violence, and Injury/Injury detail

bluejayreads's review
This is a world of misogyny and political intrigue, where the rich live atop a mountain and anyone from beyond the wall is shot. It's very much a slow burn - in half the book, Dani has graduated, been married off, been asked to spy on her husband, and attended two parties, and spent a lot of time talking about her own thoughts and feelings. It definitely feels slow, but it also doesn't feel boring.
