This is a book that needs to be read by everyone and is totally relevant to the times we are living in 2020. Immigration and refugee crisis form the crux of this story that is mixed in with this concept of fever madness caused by magic virus in your veins. Noam is our main character and he is classic character he the child of undocumented immigrants and knows what the meaning of poverty is.

He a classic character cause even though he gets moved up in life by joining the government elite magical training program he never forgets where he came from and who continues to keep those like him in the trenches of poverty. His character is well developed and we get to see all sides of this character throughout this novel. We all want to root form him and hope he does not end up going down a dark path. He a very complex character that you really feel coming through the pages of this novel.

The author develops a potent relationship between Dara and Noam that is in no way a insta love she takes her time developing it and all really comes into to play as the novel comes to a close. The relationship feels natural and well developed.

All of this is set against a political upheaval that is brewing below the surface and the ending will leave you wanting to jump right into book two. Hats off to the author for developing such a unique story that is so close to what is brewing in our world now. Heck we even have our own virus brewing here now to. What a scary world we live in.
