Beneath the Keep by Erika Johansen

What a prequel! I always recommend the Queen of Tearling Series as a kind of hidden gem because the world building is so thoughtful and detailed. Beneath the Keep was just as thoughtful and detailed. It is a great study on utopian socialism presented in an such a way that you can see the societies successes and failings when you relate it to our own present day reality. This is a story that is heartbreaking. Yet those glimmers of hope, and the desire to build a better world inspire ideas of how we might take these lessons into our everyday life.
