Sometimes the main themes of the book are not always readily available at the surface but with this particular book, the theme is present all the right from page 1. That theme is anger, anger at the misogynist/sexist society depicted in the book.

The protagonist is angry all the time and its written in a very YA way…i.e in a straightforward way most of the way through. The emotions don’t start to get complicated until 3/4ths of the way through the book.

I am not really a YA enjoyer but I had a reasonably good time with this one. Definitely one of the best YA books I’ve read this week. The other one would be week 20’s We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal.

A mystery thriller with a side of trauma. This book was a very intense read in certain areas and definitely needs some trigger warnings for sexual assault and physical violence. That said, I enjoyed reading this quite a bit. I love the main character and the magical world that the author has created here. I’ve put the second book in my wishlist for later.

I’ll be honest, nothing about this book particularly stood out to me. I thought the characters and the setting was interesting but the plot itself wasn’t much to write home about and especially the romance plot wasn’t all that good which would have fine if it wasn’t one of the major selling points of the book.

Ah well, on to the next one!

Okay so, I finished this book in one five hour sitting on Monday. I haven’t finished a book in one sitting in years. This book is really good. Excellent characters, both alien and human with each alien species having very unique points of view and experiences.

Interactions between the Wayfarer’s characters which are the majority of this book’s contents are very well written and by the end of it I felt really connected with the characters. I may have cried a bit at multiple points in the book.

If you are a sci-fi fan, put this one in your queue, trust me you won’t regret it.
