Crier's War
Ratings54
Average rating4
From debut author Nina Varela comes the first book in a richly imagined epic fantasy duology about an impossible love between two girls—one human, one Made—whose romance could be the beginning of a revolution.
Perfect for fans of Marie Rutkoski’s The Winner’s Curse as well as Game of Thrones and Westworld.
After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, designed to be the playthings of royals, usurped their owners’ estates and bent the human race to their will.
Now Ayla, a human servant rising in the ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging her family’s death…by killing the sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier.
Crier was Made to be beautiful, flawless, and to carry on her father’s legacy. But that was before her betrothal to the enigmatic Scyre Kinok, before she discovered her father isn’t the benevolent king she once admired, and most importantly, before she met Ayla.
Now, with growing human unrest across the land, pressures from a foreign queen, and an evil new leader on the rise, Crier and Ayla find there may be only one path to love: war.

my god am i glad that i have the sequel sitting on my shelf otherwise i would be SO angsty right now
what a beautiful book, not only in the prose and the gentle and sweet romance, but in the politics and rules of automae. i, robot has been a staple work of literature in my life but i'm loving that books these days are going back to exploring what it means to have created robotic life, their rights, and all the ways it can all go wrong.
pacing was lovely, i felt that there was a really good balance between plot progression and the exploration of the f/f romance. lots of twists at the end that make me eager to throw away my TBR for the sequel, but i want to stew in the greatness of crier's war before jumping into iron heart.
