Finished Date: September 16, 2020 Don't walk, RUN to read this book (if you haven't already because it's kinda popular in the book world). I absolutely loved it and I really need to get the second book soon. Okay, so magic is kinda illegal. By the order of the king Maji were killed, the practice was outlawed, and now anyone with the capacity to become a maji, marked by their white hair, are hassled and oppressed by the government. Zelie's mother was a Maji and she's dead, leaving her family struggling, realing to survive in this new unjust system that targets them, and leaving Zelie mad and eager to fight back. Zelie gets the chance to go on a mission to bring magic back but she has to accept the help of a rogue princess to evade her brother, the crown prince whose mission is to completely get rid of any remaining magic in the land. Zelie struggles to control her powers, fulfill her mission, all while falling in love with the enemy (the princess). The storytelling was so good it was hard to put the book down! I loved the struggles of the main characters and how they overcome their obstacles. The plot twist at the end of the book leaves you wanting more, which is why I'm super glad there's another book. I'm a sucker for sapphic stories and I think this was the first non-fanfiction wlw story that I read and it did not disappoint. Falling in love with the person you're supposed to hate is a wonderful trope and it really delivered. It gives what needs to be gave. Overall, I give this book a 5/5 There's so many great quotes and themes in this book, it's worth the read, worth the hype, I couldn't wish for a better fantasy book. Goodreads link.
