I enjoyed this book way more than I expected. Initially picked it up because of this gorgeous cover and the story did not disappoint. I'm not a big fantasy reader yet the novel's added element of MC Sariyah having a gift of hearing people's needs made it so much more compelling. Honestly, I think the name of the book is also very clever and catchy.The writing is gripping and kept me turning the pages. I'll admit that the first half was slow, but I genuinely could not put down my phone with the increased drama and pace of the second half. The characters and fleshed out very well and that makes for interesting relationships and banter that I enjoyed. As a POC, I could relate to many heavy conversations in the book, particularly because they were written in such a mature way that still makes sense from a teenager's perspective. The conclusion was not what I had seen coming so I loved it and I'm hopeful that there's more books to come in this series, fingers crossed. Needless to say, I will be reading anything written by this author.
