I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This one was a long time coming and honestly it was worth the wait. I think my main takeaway from this book is that it makes you think. I've had books that I've loved but forgot about in a day and I still remember and think about this book a week later after reading.

We follow a lot of different characters in this novel that are each trying to make sense and create order in a world that doesn't appreciate, trust or even like them due to their “species” aka race. This book gives poignant examples that are especially relevant in todays modern landscape that really added depth to the world and made you really feel and empathize with the characters. It leads to the central question, how do you seek to change the world around you? With violence or through work and dedication? And the pitfalls that come from both.

My biggest gripe with the book, is how it ended. I should put this at a 4.5 because this almost ruined the book for me but I didn't like a character choice but I respect it.

I really liked this book and I look forward to the sequel!
