Crier's War

Y'all. This.....was the wlw YA fantasy/sci-fi I've been searching for??? After so many years of reading so many (not so great) books, I finally found a pretty great one.

My brain is fried from this whole entire year, so here are some bullet points:

✓ Compulsively readable
✓ Enemies to (kinda, almost) lovers, back to enemies
✓ Non-human wondering CAN I LOVE???? (A classic. Spoiler alert: she can.)
✓ REBELLING AGAINST A CORRUPT AND PREJUDICED REGIME
✓ Being queer is totally normalized and isn't the cause of any of the conflict

✕ A tiny bit more insta-lovey than I prefer but honestly not bad for YA
✕ Would've loved more development of the side characters

I enjoyed this so much and I can't wait for the next one!
