![]() ![]() ![]() And note that this is a YA book, which is part of why this gives me pause. ![]() As she gets older we see her cousin at 17 forced to become pregnant to serve the family, and lots of other things that are pretty horrific. We meet her at 5 years old and basically see various forms of child abuse from restricting food to severe punishments to her mother telling her she's worthless because of the kind of magical ability she has. This is the story of a girl born to a family that owns and operates a space freighter where everything is about survival and people are only as valuable as what they can contribute. The first part of the book had a number of things I was uncomfortable with so I decided to take a look at other reviews and based on those, I don't think it's going to get better. Unfortunately I don't think this book is for me, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. ![]()
