It's the typical YA first-person present-tense voice featuring a self-described girl whose primary concern is being bullied by one-note antagonists who torment her constantly and blatantly for being different. Her other concerns are about her missing mom and corporal punishment for fighting back against the mean girls. I see that there's some dark content included but level of violence, gore and sex is not what makes an adult novel to me; likewise, YA can and often does comment on real world problems while still being YA. Again, my sample size is limited, but unless the voice, tone, and type of characterization are wildly unrepresentative of the book as a whole (which isn’t a good way to open a book) my opinion is unlikely to change. That said, it sounds like there's some mature content that may be a little much for sensitive audiences.(less)

I know this books is for more mature readers and there's some heavy violence, how easy is that to skip over? I got this in a subscription box and want to give it a chance but if its too extreme I will pass it on :) also is there any explicit sexual content??

Otherwise, it does advance the plot and character development. The sexual content is present but mild. (less)

does this book have a happy ending?

The religious divide between them would naturally be a barrier, along with his obligations as King. However I do suspect that Gaspar does not marry someone else, or that if he does he and Evika continue as lovers, partners, trusted counselors. At least thats how the story continues in my mind, and how it can stay true to the two characters.

I'm with you though, I would love for her to continue this story. Not just to know what happens with Evika and Gaspar, but the the pagans, yuhuli, and the country that Gaspar is tasked with trying to unite and integrate. There is still so much to explore. (less)
