A review by truestorydesu
Guardian by A.J. Hartley

5.0

I absolutely love the Steeplejack series - it's one of my favorite YA series out there, set in a city inspired by 19th century South Africa featuring a badass female protagonist of color... I love it. Guardian is the culmination of two books worth of heightening tension in Bar-Selehm, and provides an absolutely fitting and satisfying conclusion to the series. If you haven't read this series yet, you need to. It's brilliant and frighteningly relevant. Read it, seriously. Just stop everything and read it, Ok?

Fingers crossed for a book 4 at some point, though Hartley did say that this would be the last one. I'm going to hold out hope for more someday. Please let there be more. Please?
