Barbara C. Ewell Why Barbara loves this book

I’m not usually a big fan of science fiction but this was more like a thought experiment that both mystified and intrigued me. A very thought-provoking read whose imagery still lingers in my imagination.

Elizabeth Lowham Why Elizabeth loves this book

This is everything I love in YA fantasy!

The setting was rich and immersive, with a world history I wanted to know more about. The characters were strong and believable. Han needs a hug and a break! Raisa needs to stop kissing everyone, but at the same time, you do you, girl. Haha. Their flaws made them both frustrating and lovable, and long before the end, I wanted to see both of them break out of their limited worlds and discover everything life had to offer.

10/10 coming-of-age story with plenty of adventure to be had. (Psst, book two is EVEN BETTER, but that's not what we're talking about here.)
