❤️ loved this book because...
The main character Feldspar was the single most affecting protagonist I have read all year. Her journey from a brainwashed tool of an oppressive society, barely even realizing that she is a person in her own right, to someone who comes into her own and begins to challenge the world around her, is something I really needed to read in the times we currently live in. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all. To be honest I would have read a book about Feldspar no matter what was going on, but her journey takes place in the middle of a twisty murder plot that stands up in its own right. Don't let the YA tag fool you - all the best YA books have far more packed into them than their length would suggest, and The Hive is no exception.
