It’s my first time reading a fantasy book with this type of lead and it bothered me a lot at the start. Other books might have a heroine with a badass-but-gentle-within vibe in its lead but this book has that girl-looks-gentle-but-all-darkness-within.Īnd by all darkness, I meant all darkness. Here she meets people like her and they realize she can be a key aspect in the success of their plans. In her search for freedom, she crosses path with a rebellion aiming to take over the empire. Upon discovery of that power, she is then hunted by the empire simply because people like her should be banished. So this book has that usual setting where this girl doesn’t know she has this incredible power. Oh Marie Lu, did you ever! What a great way to start a very promising series! “I realized the problem was that I didn’t want to tell a hero’s journey I wanted to tell a villain’s.”
