![]() ![]() I do hope that I get to learn a bit more about the magic in the future books in this series, but I felt like this book had enough detail to keep me happy. ![]() ![]() I felt like I had a good understanding of the political structure (which was very important) and the fantastical elements of the book – most importantly, Evanjalin’s dream walking. I think that Marchetta did a fantastic job with the worldbuilding in this book. Add in some amazing secondary characters (LOVED Finnikin’s dad) and you have a recipe for an engaging story! He’s also strong, but he does have his flaws, making him a realistic and sympathetic character. Sometimes things looked bleak, but she always believed with her whole heart that their people could be saved – and was willing to die trying if necessary. ![]() The thing that struck me most about Evanjalin, though, was her constant sense of hope and perseverence. Her strength of character is pretty much universally admired (but not immediately – she has to earn then men’s trust, which she does). Evanjalin is an amazingly strong female character – full of fire and passion, and yet also displaying an amazing emotional depth. Oh my! Was there a character in this book that I didn’t love? I really don’t think so. ![]()
