I really liked this story and I didn't feel like it was too predictable! I like the commentary on hate in society and how it can infect generations and people who aren't directly impacted by an event. I also enjoyed the point of looking past the exterior of a person in order to get to know the person they truly are. I really love Lazlo's character and I'm predicting massive character growth for Thyon in the next book. I didn't give this five stars because I felt there were some writing choices that made the reading confusing at times. There were multiple times when pronouns were used in dialogue instead of names and I had to re-read passages multiple times in order to understand and because of that, I felt like I could only give it four stars. Can't wait to read the next!
