REVIEW
Another amazing novel from the author who took dystopian, politics and inner struggle and named it "Article 5". That series was a non-stop run for life and love and loved it.
On "Glass Arrow", a world where every person would hate, women and girls are sold like cattle. Aya and her family try to escape the Trackers who want to take the girls and sell them, until Aya is caught and through her eyes we see the monstrosity of this society.
Her only solace is Kiran a mute boy with deep secrets of his own.
Aya. A girl every blogger, fan of strong heroines will enjoy since she doesn't stop to fight, care and love those she cares for. She wants to be independent in a world of greed and sickness and her beliefs, which in a way they remind me of Native Americans, are really original.
The world building was also something I hadn't seen in other dystopian and if there would ever be a chance to see more from Aya and her company, I would take it. The novel is standalone but there is still place for the story to become more in lengh.
