Applegate has a way with words (always), but this series is even more poignant and touching than usual. Here, she has created an entire\u00a0 world, with species, languages, and traditions, and tragic history. Her knack for social commentary is one of the things I love most about her work. In this series, it is done through the creation of a faraway land where she speaks to justice, revenge, hope, and love.
