Epub file on my kindle corrupted (lost old one and had to redownload everything from Amazon) so am unable to access - thank you for the opportunity.

I never had a chance to review this before it expired. I'm sorry!

This book was absolutely fabulous!! Completely loved the world, parallel to ours, taking place in what I imagine would be an Incan/Mayan area and time. I loved the diversity. It wasn't shoved down your throat, but a natural part of the world. I also LOVED that despite the female MC having two male friends, they weren't a love triangle at all. It was true, solid friendship for all of them.

The ONLY quibble I have with this book, causing it to be four stars and not five, is it falls prey to the "Harry Potter trope" of the adults know what is going on, but won't tell the youth because they are only kids and need to be protected from bad things. This, of course, causes the MC to make some really poor decisions, because she didn't have all of the information present to make the right one. That just burns my grits!

So yeah, only four stars. BUT I so incredibly want to read the next one in the series. This is a keeper for me. If the series continues to go just as strongly as this first book, then I think we will have a winner! I highly recommend this book, but for more mature middle readers on up, due to the violence in it. It isn't overly graphic, but sometimes I think leaving it up to the imagination can be worse than spelling it out! Depends on the imagination of the reader I guess. If you're a reader though, I'm betting your imagination is pretty darn good.

So yes, great book, I recommend it for just about everybody. I loved the world and the characters and I loved the way the characters are trying to get past their prejudices of each of the different guild groups. It's a very well crafted book. Go get it! :)

My thanks to NetGalley and Disney Book Group-Hyperion for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.
