4.5 Stars. Normally I don't read YA or fantasy so this was really out of my comfort zone. And I'm so very glad I chose to dive in and read this book. The imagined world was amazingly vibrant and intense. She was able to evoke fear, pain, desire, and triumph so eloquently; the first time in a long time a book has brought so much feeling out out of me. I can't say enough good things about this book. Highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this book, took it with me on a trip to Africa. It was a bit too generic for my tastes. It took me a lot longer to finish and I felt like it was grueling by the end, but I pushed myself not to dnf. The romance was a mess too.

I enjoyed reading something that wasn’t another Eurocentric magic story. The plot was a little predictable in places and but moving in others.
