![]() ![]() ![]() Parental Guide: See my other reviews of this series. That's why I read most of the series but rated them low. The conclusion being, there's plenty of contradictions - sometimes I'm intrigued and enjoying the story and sometimes I'm frustrated. Her magic is interesting, but sometimes too powerful and sometimes not enough. I don't like Salvador, but I do like him, at least a little. She always knows what to say and how to react to Tomas and anyone else? Always has perfect comebacks and is dressed to kill? (literally?) I liked Nash, but I was intrigued by Jonah, who lets her be herself. I like strong heroines, but she's just so strong and confident, something that I think doesn't happen often for an early twenties girl. I think the reason that I kept reading these (note, I skipped the fourth book) is that there was a lot of potential. ![]() It must be, because there are no more (or are there? -shrug), but it felt a little open-ended. This didn't feel like an ending to a series. ![]()

But here, the walls aren't metaphorical, they are literal barriers. But it's easy to transcribe it to any Western city, with its slums, its estates, its "good" or "bad" neighbouroods, its Black or White or Polish or Turkish or white collars only or working class, or whatever, areas. Obviously, this hierarchical social order is very much inspired by the Indian caste system. What makes Leila completely chilling is how plausible it is to imagine a city partitioned by walls defining communities that live only among themselves, in contempt and fear of the others, and with their own private laws.
