When I first opened up the book, I didn't really know what I was expecting. I could tell by the blurb that this was going to be quite a dark book, but I didn't really expect it to be this dark or mentally demanding. It's a good book, nevertheless.
[[Afterlight by Rebecca Lim]] – another story of teenage trauma, with some fantasy elements mixed in.<br>
[[Never Ending by Martyn Bedford]] – a similar story of teenage guilt and instability.<br?>[[Die For Me by Amy Plum]] for the mythology.<br>[[Owen Pendragon by W S Markendale]] for even more mythology.
