A great book to guide discussions and can read chapters in any order. I was able to tailor where my daughter is. The little cartoons reactions help normalize opposing reactions to material. Loss 1 star because desperately needs a copy editor for all the repetitive sentences. We'd giggle more at the bad sentences sometimes more than the material. But a very helpful guide covering internet, sex, babies, gender is complicated, and even consent.
Selfish people with magical powers. Apparently the boys can make lights go out in any place without touching it. And love interest blows up a yacht during lunch ends and didn't care innocent people would die. (If he placed the pearl, he knew she and the chef were there) They celebrated wedding by burning a man alive in his house.
Book Trigger warning. Book involves brutal wars based on racism and genocides.
I received this book as a Giveaway and needed to read the Poppy Wars one first. Incredible weaving of history and shamans together in a character driven story. The main character is actually unlikable, but actually grows or hardens like young adults (children) would actually be like. She responds differently and thinks differently as books progress, which is rare to see. Usually only shallow cosmetic changes in other books. Already starting the 3rd!
Definitely hard war descriptions and very rough situations - should have trigger warnings. Very complex and book with probably most realistic and mercurial people in it. Who have actual emotions that change or overwhelm like real people. There is a short interview at the end of the audiobook with the author that helps context.
