This book is simply breathtaking. With a cover like this, I was immediately drawn to it, but the contents do not disappoint. With characters that you have strong reactions to - both positive and negative - along with a plot that is full of twists and turns, there is no way to not fall in love with Raybearer.
The fact this book is up for awards is of no surprise to me at all, and it deserves every single one of them.
I've been recommending this book both on my blog and in person wherever it is appropriate (most recently as Christmas presents for young adults / older children), because beneath the fact this is a work of fiction it also hold so many important messages that everyone would benefit from reading. Whenever books like this break the surface and gain the attention they deserve, the literary world is a better place for it. I know there is a sequel in the works, and I can't wait.
