Packed with shocking twists, frightening monsters, and dark magic, this is a page-turning fantasy adventure for middle-grade fans of Holly Black and Tamora Pierce. Twelve-year-old Octavia grew up believing the town of Vittoria was the only one left in the world. The sole survivors of a deadly magical war and plague, the people of Vittoria know there’s no one alive outside the town walls—except the terrible monsters that prowl the forest. But then the impossible happens: Octavia meets another girl beyond the walls, someone who isn’t Vittorian. Everything she’s ever believed is thrown into question, and there’s no going back. In her quest for the truth, Octavia discovers a world full of lies, monsters, and magic. She’ll have to use every scrap of her skill, wits, and courage to uncover what’s real about Vittoria and the rest of the world.

Interesting enough, but could have had more background and stuff
Atmosphere - 8
I could tell how the world was put together and why it was this way with little effort. It was set up in a way that you knew where everything was in relation to everything else.
Writing - 7
Pretty good writing, a little too much description for my liking at points tho.
Plot - 7
Fairly interesting but some points were too obvious with where the story was leading.
Intrigue - 7
I wanted to know how it was going to end the whole time, so intriguing enough.
Logic - 7
Fairly logical but some blips here or there.
Enjoyment - 6
It was alright but I more wanted to just get to the end rather than be stuck in the story and get every detail.
