5.0

This book was a blast and truly YA, I would like to say.

We have a very strong main character who grew up in East Row with her mom and her younger sister until the moment her mother got killed and Rue got brought to this other place, where she is now to be educated as she is not only human, but also half god. 

When she decides to return on the anniversary of her mother's death to the street she grew up in and meet up with her sister, she sets a series of events in action she could not foresee. 

And as the world around seems to tumble down Rue has to understand more about her magic, her origins and also make sure that she keeps her sister and the friends she has found on the way, safe. 

Absolutely compelling story telling. One of the best books I read this year.

Loved the narrator of this story. I felt, she got the voices of her characters just so right.
