We talk about the fight like it’s our life. And in some ways, it is. It’s all we know. The fight against evil, The fight against monsters, The fight against ourselves. It can become everything because it can mean everything Mean life or death, for better or worse. The war consumes us until it becomes who we are. But sometimes, no matter how long or hard we fight No matter how much we need or deserve to win Sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we lose. We have to live with that. And sometimes that’s a fight all on its own. Everyone talks about the fight. The victory. Nobody talks about the loss. The after.
Emilee King is the YA author of the Arie's Story series and the Elarian Chronicles. She loves fairy tales, superheroes, and murder mysteries, and is constantly on the hunt for good stories. When she's not writing, you can find her reorganizing her bookshelves, eating food, or spending time with her family.
This book is truly one of a kind. It deals with trauma and grief in the most realistic yet interesting way. Perhaps the best entry in the series: everything is ended in a satisfying, gut wrenching, profound way. Wow, this book is a must-read and we need more books like it.
