I forgot to mark when I started reading this, so the start date may not be accurate but it didn’t take me more than a week or two.

I enjoyed how much was packed into this book. Definitely a lot going on here.

I appreciated that there was not actually child rape, although it was implied and for a few pages I thought that’s where it was going. I mean, what happens to the village is arguably worse, but in the end the book was more about kindness than its many painful moments.

As per usual with me and books containing both magic and science, I wanted to know more about the rules of the universe. The story was fine. Characters were interesting and varied.

If there was a sequel, l’d probably read it. (I actually thought Escaping Exodus was a sequel, but goodreads says it’s not. I have it also and I’ll be reading it next!)
