Give me MORE immediately!
LOVED this world, and how the alchemy didn’t just act as a magic system, but was so embedded in the history and politics and development of everything.
The CHARACTERS? I definitely felt more connected with Sam vs Ari, but I truly felt for her in the way that she emotionally had to process the things she was forced to do. And don’t get me started on her relationship with her mother 😭
It’s a story about morally grey characters all around. Marie Lu truly makes you feel for every single character, good or bad.
I’m so invested. Not so patiently waiting for more!

Marie Lu is a fantastic author, and if you’re interested, her Warcross duology is also so much fun! 😄
