This book was fast-paced and I finished it in a single sitting. It deals with complex themes of oppression, injustice, and the struggle of placing loyalty to one’s family over oneself despite having personal dreams and goals. The FMC, Koral, was someone I was both deeply rooting for and deeply irritated with at different times and I loved that. The maristags are such insteresting creatures and really captivated me with their descriptions. The storyline was fairly predictable (although the twists were still fun to read). Overall, I would highly recommend reading this book for an intriguing and thought-provoking read.
