I loved this. It was a bit dark at times, but the story was gripping. I personally loved Laia. To me, she is so relatable simply because she is a normal person. She doesn’t have magical powers, she doesn’t have any combat training, she’s just a girl who loves her family and would do anything to help her brother.
