5.0

A really excellent opening book to a new trilogy. I am really fascinated by the way that Pacat’s book is in conversation with the fantasy I grew up reading (LOTR, Narnia, etc) in the way he sets up an epic conflict of The Light vs The Dark. But then she uses that very familiar setup to ask a really interesting question about what it truly means to be good or evil. 

I absolutely cannot wait to continue the series.
