    “People get hung up on happiness and joy, but fun will take you at least as far and it’s generally cheaper to obtain.” I love Alex. Ka are so snarky and funny in contrast to the oppressive, eerie setting. It’s an excellent writing choice, and their down-to-earth narration grounds the setting wonderfully. The atmosphere is really well established, and I think part of that is thanks to Alex’s personality. “No one actually likes it, but is traditionally made by widows as a means of supporting themselves, so everyone drinks it because you can’t let little old lady starve to death when they could be climbing mountains and scraping lichen off rocks instead.”

    “What a terrible, selfish thing to play God. Monsters, all of them.” Incredibly well written and nuanced discussion of so many things both in our history and our current society. Supper well written with amazing side characters and themes. I’m really glad this is YA- teenagers need to be reading this. Everyone does, but teens in particular. I’m excited to read AJW’s other work, I can easily see him giving CG Drews some competition for my favorite YA author (just missing the forest rot). “And the rage- The pain- It tears everything apart and it is beautiful.”
