What to say about this wonderfully written book? Well, it was a bit confusing at first and I'm still not exactly sure what was going on with Laila BUT it has a canonically autistic character who actually has character development and is more than someone to be pitied! Woohoo! This representation means so much to me as a kid growing up with Rain Man and Kristy and the Secret of Susan. So, thieves band together to steal a...fragment of something so that an heir can be restored to hear s rightful place. Or not? This one was a fascinating character study even with an obvious Red Shirt. And I get to read the sequel! (Yup, I'm bragging😏)
