Nevermoor: The Trials vs Poet X

Don't you just love a great book? In the case of Nevermoor vs Poet X , the gauntlet was thrown and no one was prepared to acquiesce about which was the greater of the two.
At first glance, these two books could not be more different. However, on closer inspection, the pages of each book hold a female protagonist just wanting to find her way and make sense of her world. Each girl faces struggles to shake off what oppresses her to find the freedom to discover who she is and who she can be.
Nevermoor does this in a fun, whimsical way while Poet X pulls you into a deeper place of angst. Both these books are well worth the time they take to absorb.
Our vote was divided with two votes going to Nevermoor and one vote going to Poet X.
