Crier's War by Nina Varela

mmmlysaght's review against another edition

4.0

Varela has a wonderful touch with details of the world that make it feel very vibrant and lived-in. Crier is adorable and Ayla is a very functional trainwreck and I love them.

The end gets a little unfocused, as 2 characters investigate the same mystery and the reader doesn't gain any additional insight, but it was a fast read and I'm looking forward to book 2!

Great world building. Interesting premise to be in love with your main oppressor. Can’t say I blamed Ayla for her feelings. Complex emotional layers.

I loved the concept but I didn’t love the execution.
