So basically, this world is divided into four quarters: slate, granit I really enjoyed this, out of like 20 books this was the only one that I could read after Fearless and Part of your World. I liked the worldbuilding, it was giving divergent vibes. So basically, this world is divided into four quarters: slate, granite, iron and the highest quarter and the only one that produces shadow weavers, the onyx quarter. And in this world, at the age of 21, all young adults must go to Firestone academy where they will be tested through trials which will determine which quarter they will go to. And our fmc, briony, is from the slate quarter which is the poorest quarter which is basically like district 12 from the hunger games. And the shadow weavers, who are seen as basically gods and everyone else from the other quarters are treated like dirt beneath their shoes, and the shadow weavers are able to choose a thrall, which is basically someone who will favor and listen to the shadow weavers who choose them and will receive protection and reap the same benefits as the shadow weavers. And our girl Briony is chosen by the three most powerful shadow weavers, and she has no idea why. I’m pretty sure she’s their mate, and that’s why she was chosen. But our girl Briony is very stubborn and refuses to be their thrall and understandably too. Because for one, the shadow weavers make their thralls wear COLLARS, like their a fucking dog. Which is the main reason why I hate it, like they say it’s just a physical representation of their control from a shadow weaver, but no thanks. And two, Briony believes shadow weavers intentionally killed her sister, nine years ago when she attended the academy, and it wasn’t an accident like they claim. But yeah, I really liked this, not too much happened but it was a good set up for the rest of the series. I loved fly and Clare and their friendship with briony. And y’all, there’s also a VERY good chance that she’s going to have a hot professor in her harem as well, and I am a SUCKER for student x teacher, only college age students of course. ...more "

“What reason would you have to be afraid of Warner? He’s such a nice guy. Loves children. Big talker. Oh, and bonus: He no longer murders people professionally. No, now
murdering people is just a fulfilling hobby.”
