I have a weird relationship with this series. I really enjoy it, I think it is beautifully written, I think the world building is amazing, but I also just....feel separated from it. I just finished this book, which ends on a cliffhanger, and instead of groaning that I need to wait 8 months for book 3, I am more like "oh yeah, this will be fun to finish at some point!" I really love the characters, but I am not "Rosa in Brooklyn 99 saying if you hurt them I will break you" with them.

I think Roshani Chokshi is an incredibly talented author, I just think my disconnect is somehow related to my accepted feelings about YA fantasy. There is just going to always be a wall between me and the genre.

I am saying that because if you do love YA historical fiction/fantasy, I think you'd genuinely love this series! And of course I'll also pick up book 3. While I am not desperate to know how it ends, I am excited to see where it goes next.
