I loved the book and I loved the authors note! 
It’s based on real historical people and events and it manages to build an amazing fantasy world. The blending of the worlds is so amazing and well written. 
You get to see two children growing up and the difference in the way society treats them.
This book broke me and I’m thankful for it. 
Thank you, Marie Lu! You made me ache for music I will never hear and I mourn the loss of it.
