I’m going to need to annotate this book one day:

“We are the Heart. We are its power. And we are taking it back.”

Lira, thank you for this.

“I’m a woman in a system designed to grind us down into nothing, to strip us of our worth and dignity and rights. I’ve survived that system and it didn’t make me weak or submissive, it made me angry.”

I love a dystopian book with a forbidden love trope. However, it’s just moving too fast for my liking.



Spoiler:


Chapter 25 - how does that naturally make sense? Going from attack to love? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thoughts so far:
- inequality is still an issue
- blood doesn’t always = family
- power shows people’s true colors

It’s not bad so far, but I do feel that the timeline of events is happening too quickly.
