![]() ![]() Kind of like The Sandcastle Empire with its near future dystopia, although a little less radical. I’d honestly call it a new type of YA dystopia, akin to a near-future dystopia. But it’s also not contemporary, as it takes place in a different world (without being magical or “otherworldly”–just different). It was a very unique mix of genres, which I ended up enjoying! I can’t place the time period, but it’s not futuristic in technology or other wise, nor is it historical. Mejia creates a world full of societal expectations and steeped in tradition, and then she works to tear down all of it throughout this book. ![]() ![]() Like the cover, this book was both lush and gorgeous yet fierce and wild in its story. I didn’t have many expectations for what this was going to be like as I went into this book, but can I say that if I did have expectations, We Set the Dark on Fire would have blown them away?! ![]()
