All the things she will lose, the way she will disappoint her family, and the sacrifices in order to facilitate this lie.
Dani’s pedigree is a lie, so a lot of the story revolves around this fierce fear she has that her background will be exposed. The challenges they face.Īt the same time, We Set the Dark on Fire, there’s this fantastic element of fear of being discovered as a fraud. To a society where they are forced to pick between our emotions and passion, with our ambition, and what happens to characters who possess both. And We Set the Dark on Fire is, in many ways, a love letter to this division. The way I’ve felt torn between my ambition and love. Mejia talks about how women are forced to “subjugate our desires for our drive”.
My arc of We Set the Dark on Fire which had an amazing note from the author, Mejia. If you love books with fantasy, mirrors into reality, and stories of rebellion, this book is for you. You’ll want to go ahead and pre-order the sequel as soon as you finish the first. There’s rebellion, forbidden love, and personal growth. We Set the Dark on Fire is passionate, gripping, and a book that will surprise you with its depth. Fiercely loyal to her family, committed to her role as a Primera, and terrified of her past secrets. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
(Disclaimer: I received this free book from Edelweiss. Will Dani cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or will she give up everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio-and a chance at a forbidden love? Review She must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society.Īnd school couldn’t prepare her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation, especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio. Both paths promise a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class.ĭaniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her pedigree is a lie. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children. SummaryĪt the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Talk about characters I loved, compelling stories, and gripping action. Just reminiscing on We Set the Dark on Fire I am reminded how amazing it was.
