What an amazing book! This was one of the best YA novels I've read in awhile. While this is a fantasy novel involving lupine (werewolves), fae, and others not completely human, it is a story about racism and one young woman's realization that everything she grew up believing about the other cultures was a lie. I appreciated how realistic her transition was from being clueless to eventually understanding what was actually going on in the world. I liked the world building, and the richness of the cast of characters, one of which was asexual (major props for that!), and another side character was gay (I hope he finds a boyfriend in the next book!). I am now eagerly awaiting book two, and wish it was coming out sooner than next May, though there is a prequel I'll need to check out. :-) I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was perfect, easily understood, and with a nice voice I enjoyed listening to, even though I usually prefer male readers. As a librarian who has worked with both teens and adults, I highly recommend this book for both audiences. This is a timely read for everyone.
