Leelo handled a lot of things really well. I love that she was open to changing her opinions and took time to understand the new information that was being heaped upon her. She has that strength and loyalty that I always appreciate in a FMC. Within a few chapters I knew exactly what was going to happen and I wasn’t surprised by how it ended. Something that added an edge, something I hadn’t read before. And I know that can be a winner for a lot. It did have a very distinct YA fantasy feel. I went in hoping I would, buuuut here we are. But in a moment that will change everything, Leelo betrays her family, her best friend, and Endla by making an unthinkable choice.ĭiscovery could lead to devastating consequences for both Leelo and the outsider, Jaren, but as they grow closer, Leelo realizes that not all danger comes from beyond the lake-and they can only survive if Leelo is willing to question the very fabric of her society, her people, and herself. When Leelo sees a young outsider on the verge of drowning in the lake, she knows exactly what she’s supposed to do. But as much as Leelo cares for her community, she struggles to accept that her younger brother will be exiled by his next birthday, unless he gains the magic of enchanted song so vital to Endla. Leelo has spent her entire life on Endla, coexisting with the bloodthirsty Forest and respecting the poisonous lake that protects her island from outsiders who seek to destroy it. Either way, they’re never heard from again. Outsiders are always given a choice: the Forest or the lake.
