I have never read a book like this!! The feeling I got from reading a heroine that was beautiful and powerful that was described to look like my coworkers, friends family and me.... indescribable. To read blackness finally being describe as we are; multifacted! Distinct! Each one unique. I wish books like this were written when I was younger.

I absolutely loved this story. It was like watching a movie in my mind. So much tension, and I loved the world-building. very entertaining read. Some of the other characters weren't as compelling (imo) as the main character and her pursuers. I think different people will probably gravitate to different characters, but I personally could have gone with less of the princess's perspective.
