وجه كالزجاج (تخفيضات)

The world-building in this underground city is so intricate it felt like I was right there with the characters, navigating the political games of the wealthy families. I especially loved how the story slowly reveals a sinister past that keeps you guessing until the very end.

I've been reading a lot of dystopian YA lately, and the concept of an underground city with families vying for power in this novel is so refreshingly original. The writing style is just gorgeous, too—Hardinge really makes each sentence count.

I’ve been lost in this underground city for days now—the way the author weaves that sinister history with the power struggles is just gripping. The world-building is so rich and creepy, it actually made me slow down to savor each page. If you like layered fantasy with a dark edge, this one’s a gem.
