Into the Fire : A Night Prince Novel

I did really enjoy this series as a whole but I do think that there is an issue with the fact that the main character is “cured” of her scars. Throughout the series these scars are noted to be severe to the point of almost a deformity, and yet she no longer has them by the end. I won't say how and although she doesn't want them to go, I don't think this is very helpful representation. This is NOT an own-voices review so I apologise for any poorly phrased sentiments and you should see what others have to say about it but it came across as insensitive to me. It kinda reinforces how to look average is the ultimate end goal or a signature of growth - neither of which is true and may perpetuate certain tropes. A book that goes into this in more depth is called Disfigured.

Also, this does rely on some Native American history. The author I don't believe is Native American herself but I can't comment on the representation so do some digging and look at other reviews to check it out.
