Four friends —Alys, Evander, Newt, and protagonist Cassa—find themselves facing off with the sinister High Council who have been ruling the city of Eldra for centuries. But a rebellion has been playing out for more than a decade, and Cass, the daughter of rebels, is determined to follow in her parents’ footstep, despite her fear that it might be more than she is capable of. Mysterious prophecies, a fight against oppressive leaders, and a city on the brink of destruction—this book is every bit as dark and magical as that oh so creepy cover would imply!

There were a lot of strengths to this book - the plot, the emotions, the damn ENDING, the representation and characters... But there were also some glaring issues which I could not ignore. For one, the characters, as interesting as they were, felt haphazard because the book jumped around. I mean jumped around A LOT, which made things not flow as well as I usually hope. All in all I did enjoy this book, especially as a fantasy lover who appreciates good representation for what its worth.
