Book Description:
In the city of Segeno, it’s eat or be eaten. Someone has to rule the masses. A boy has lost his birthright. His parents killed. Dead and gone. A girl has lost her father. She means nothing to him now.
The city of Segeno stands tall after a great war, the only city left of its kind. Terran has lost both of his parents and is now on the run from a tyrant eager to kill him and cut off the royal bloodline. Parisa struggles with her own identity as even her father rejects her for the color of her skin as he claws for the throne. Along their journeys, they meet unexpected allies and encounter unprecedented magick, but, most importantly, they learn what it is to stand up for themselves and take back their city from corruption.
The Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage is the first of a two book series intended for ages 13 – 18. If you like the Hunger Games, Divergent, and Inkheart, you’ll love these books.
This series talks about systemic oppression, racism, oligarchy, and, of course, magick.

My Review
As a teen, some of my favorite books to read were the Hunger Games and Inkheart, if this book had been around during my teen years it definitely would have been included in my list of favorites. I really enjoyed Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage by Tycho Dwelis and I especially liked Terran and Parisa struggles!
