this book was given to me as a gift, I was a little apprehensive at first, and it took a while for me to pick it up but I almost instantly fell in love with the characters and story, this is my second time reading this book and I love it all the more, Amani is one of the best, independent female protagonists that I have ever had the joy of reading about, would definitely recommend!

It's AMAZING!!! One headstrong character, combined with a dangerously unstable hierarchy and the dream of a brighter future equates to an endearing adventure that has you tingling from head to toe. I couldn't put it down.
