Hello! I've decided to make this book out of basically my own boredom, procrastination from writing and my never ending battle with writer's block. In this book, you will find reviews/recommendations of books, both published books and ones on Wattpa...

DESCRIPTION: In the walled city-state of Alu, Kammani wants nothing more than to become the accomplished healer her father used to be before her family was cast out of their privileged life in shame.
When Alu's ruler falls deathly ill, Kammani's beautiful little, Nanaea, is chosen as one of three sacred maidens to join him in the afterlife. It's an honour. A tradition. And Nanaea believes it is her chance to live an even grander life than the one that was stolen from her.
But Kammani see the selection for what it really is-a death sentence.
Desperate to save her sister, Kammani schemes her way into the palace. There, she discovers more danger lurking in the sandstone corridors than she could have ever imagined and that her own life-and heart-are at stake. But Kammani will stop at nothing to dig up the palace's buried secrets, even if it means sacrificing everything . . . including herself.
GENRE: Fantasy, adventure, dark, young adult, mystery NUMBER OF PAGES: 394 SERIES?: Yes
OVERVIEW: The amazing land of Alu, with its own culture, beliefs and setting that makes you truly believe you're somewhere else. This book is so interesting and unique with an underlying mystery in such a dark, twisted story.
One thing I have to say is that this book is series(a trilogy I believe?) but since reading it months ago, I haven't even thought about buying the next book. I'm absolutely sure the other two(?) books are just as incredibly amazing but since it didn't end on a super large cliffhanger and I don't feel the need to know exactly what happens, I probably, won't buy the other books. I think its just great as a standalone.
The characters are undeniably relatable and fantastic. I love Dagan and if Kammani doesn't marry him, I may have to. Kammani herself, the narrator, is so intelligent and relatable and Nanaea is just so naive and stupid and little-sister-like(I say this as a little sister) that I love her. And what a fucking incredible title?! I mean GRAVEMAIDENS. No words.
This book should be made into a movie, for real. PERSONAL RATING: 87%
