What an amazing debut! I can’t believe it took me so long to pick this book up! I was invested right as the book began because Melissa has such an easy way of drawing the reader in! This book handled so many dedicatoria topics with such care and grace. It showed how colonization effects every person differently and people have to find different means of survival. We have and flawed MC that has so much development upon creating different relationships. A diverse cast of characters including a “wheelchair user” were not being fully abler body did not get in her way of being a bad ass. I love how this book took its time with the world building and fleshing out all the politics while giving us hints of a possible love interest in the next book. 


I gave it 4.75 because I had difficulty differentiating the beings in this world and how they fit into the hierarchical system. 

Looking forward to book two. Btw what a gorgeous cover!
