This was really good! If you like Skyward (by Brandon Sanderson) and Attack on Titan then it’s a great mix of both? The setting is very interesting and I loved all of the characters including the big bad. There’s good diversity here with a mute protagonist, POC, and LGBT characters. I found the portrayal of an abused character as very realistic and respectful as a survivor myself. I appreciate how it showed the complicated feelings and friends’ reactions that come with it, even though it was a side character’s experiences. I totally recommend this and if you like audiobooks the narrator was awesome! She did a great job with all of the voices and accents which really brought it to life. I can’t wait for the next books.
