![]() ![]() There are plenty of plot twists and characters who aren’t what they seem. These three women are likable, though flawed, as they search for the truth about their homeland. ![]() There are three main characters, Sylah (the protagonist and an Ember stolen from her family and raised as a Duster), Anoor (the love interest and a Duster raised as an Ember), and Hassa (a Ghosting). Physically, they are set apart from the other two as their hands and tongues are amputated at birth as a retaliation from an insurrection from 400 years earlier. These can be told apart only by the color of their blood and their role in society: the Embers have red blood and hold all the power Dusters have blue blood and are destined for labor and Ghostings have clear blood and delegated to being servants. A lot of time is spent delineating the various racial groups that populate this world. This first book is an exciting read for many reasons. The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi is an amazing fantasy/fiction/scifi novel that is the first in a trilogy. ![]()
