I'm not gonna lie, there's bits where it's hard to follow, especially when they deep dive into the world's politics, but besides it, i liked it a lot.. i wish the dialogues had some more description of what was actually happening, the writer used the conversation itself to explain some movements, especially during training, and it made it harder to read.. anyways I'm off to reading the next one:)

This book could be perfect, if it wasn't so obvious, that the author has absolutely no clue about woman. But if you can look at all the misogyny and laugh at its stupidity and not get too infuriated by it, its a good book. Behind the misogyny hides a good story 😂
