I was provided this book by the author for an honest review. 
 "You can't control what the truth is." 
 Stars (Out of 10): 7.5 
 Overall Thoughts: While I was not a fan of the romantic aspect of the book, the rest of it was amazing. C.E. Wilson built an awesome world filled of all sorts of quirks that made it truly amazing to read. I can't wait to read more books from this author! 
 Spoilers start here! 
 The Good: The world was well-built. The culture of it was clearly defined and made the world so quirky. I loved the complexity of the characters and the plot. 
 The Bad: I was not a fan of the romance. Mostly, because it reminded me of the Bee Movie a bit (or more like my friend pointed it out to me after I mentioned it to her and I can't get it out of my head since). 
 The Characters: There was a variety of characters and they all had lovable qualities. I especially loved Rika and Pepper. Salt confused me and Shade was pretty cool. The main characters were very complex and intriguing as well. 
 The Plot: The plot was very interesting for it was not a character trying to solve her world's problems, but trying to solve her own. I actually liked it a lot for that. 
 The World Building: The world building was phenomenal! I loved learning about the history of the Forgotten Ones. Plus, the names were such a cool, unique touch. 
 The Stereotypical Tropes: Perhaps an aspect of forbidden love, but not much else 
 The Favorite Character: Rika 
 Buy it, Borrow it, Or Bin it: Buy It
