I didn't expect to like this one as much as I did because I usually don't like highly hyped YA fantasy but this one hit all the right beats. Although a slow starter I really came to enjoy Koffi and Ekon's voices.

Koffi and Ekon live in Lkossa, a fictional City in the jungle. Koffi and her mother are servants at the Night Zoo and she longs to be free. Ekon, keeping with his family’s tradition, is training to be a warrior for the Son of the Six.

The magic system wasn't overly complicated to the point where I got confused. Sometimes I just really need a straightforward YA fantasy. The only thing that bothered me was how it sometimes repeated scenes from a different POV.

But this book has it all; a mystical jungle with magical creatures, two powerful protagonists balancing duty and their growing feelings for one another, and plenty of adventure.
