Well, I'm done and I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of good things about this book and I don't really have any real criticisms other than that I wasn't as engaged as I could have been. If you have read this book, please feel free to discuss it with me and others!

Yes, it is!

I read The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed

And I’m in!

Ok, I've finally finished it and I enjoyed it! I did find it to be a little too dramatic and I wanted things to move along a bit faster at the start, but other than that, I thought that it was good. I generally liked the characters, the rep and the relationships between the characters.

Yes, same here!

Ok, well I enjoyed this. It wasn't perfect and I had some issues, but overall I thought it was good. I thought the main character was written well and the ending was quite good. I suppose I wanted a bit more from some of the side characters and that love triangles just aren't really my thing.

I've read: The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu.
Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen.
The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart.
Darius the Great Deserves Better by Adib Khorram.
