Histoire
Minni lives in the poorest part of Mumbai, where access to water is limited to a few hours a day and the communal taps have long lines. Lately, though, even that access is threatened by severe water shortages and thieves who are stealing this precious commodity—an act that Minni accidentally witnesses one night. Meanwhile, in the high-rise building where she just started to work, she discovers that water streams out of every faucet and there’s even a rooftop swimming pool. What Minni also discovers there is one of the water mafia bosses.

Histoire
If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it's that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad's in prison. Life's not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav's got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he's a father. But it's not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child.

Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TEEN VOGUE
South Carolina Children's Book Award nominee
"A dark feminist tale spun with blood and gold. Must read!"–Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles
Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs.
But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.
Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki–near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire's greatest threat.
Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be–not even Deka herself.
The start of a bold and immersive fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.
Ce que les critiques en disent

not gay :')
I got this book because it was on a sapphic scifi/fantasy list but alas, t'is het
spoiler:
I am pretty over the narrative that because a person isn't your biological parent they have no place as your parent and that parenthood is a bio thing. Did not love that very explicitly stated sentiment.

Slow to start but worth the listen!
Great book based on a really cool story. Agreed with some other commenters that the book was too front loaded; it seemed to go on forever about the purity ritual, training, etc. Some of the accents were also cringe, although the narrator does an amazing job in every other sense! If you can stick it out until about halfway through, you’re in for a great listen. Can’t wait until the next book in the series comes out!

Yaasss
What a great story! I absolutely adore this world that's been created and appreciate this text for being the Kick-Ass Black feminist literature that it is. It has a lot of really heavy topics (abuse, trauma, violence, etc) and deals with heavier topics than I expected in a YA so young readers definitely need a trigger warning (but nothing is too gory or unnecessary, all the issues are well presented and logical in their additional) It can be very violent but never unnecessarily so. I feel that this is a really well written, female lead, Black perspective that the fantasy world benefits from having. So good

Absolutely captivating
I don't even know where to start. I had heard promising reviews and Namina Forna's tale did not fail to deliver on an Epic story that pulled me in from start to finish. This is a book that has it all; fantasy, mystery, suspense, romance, action. It is a true feminist novel, critiquing and dismantling the patriarchal barriers within and without.

Beautiful and creative
A wonderful addition to fantasy! I cannot get enough of the worldbuilding and power system. the story is engaging from start to finish and the characters are all interesting.
the ending felt rushed, perhaps the conclusion was inevitable - but the final bosses power level could have been foreshadowed somehow and the denouement could use a bit of work.
This would make an amazing YA movie trilogy.

Could not stop listening!
Captivating story and narrator! The female lead Deka goes through the most stunning character growth and I fell in love with all the lead characters. Can't recommend enough!

Good story
Overall, good story with enough mystery to keep you engaged. At times, felt the pace of discovery was a bit too slow. Narration is good, but at times accents are distracting and take away from the content.

I wanted to love this book
This book had some great reviews and I was excited to read it. I was disappointed that not only did I not love it, I could not finish it.
1. The narrator. The protagonist's best friend, judging by the accent, is from somewhere in the UK. Or Ireland? Or New Zealand? Nope, definitely the south of England. Wait, no, the centre of England. Her accent was (literally) all over the place and that drove me bonkers.
2. The writing. I gathered, from the reviews I read, that this story was different. I thought I was getting a story about a strong girl finding herself and her place in the world. Instead, the author luxuriated in describing and frequently revisiting the torture meted out to our heroine. The girl herself frequently longed to be back in her patriarchal society (a thinly veiled and uncomplimentary reference to Islam?)
This story has a fascinating premise, but so much time was spent looking backwards, reveling in misery instead of being in the present and looking forward, that I had no interest in finishing it. If I want to revel in misery all I have to do is read the news.
