I enjoyed the concept and plot, and would read it again for that. The writing wasn't super polished and the main character was annoying for quite a while, but she managed to redeem herself in the end. The kind of protagonist I spent a lot of time annoyed with but she finally had some growth towards the climax which made the second half much more enjoyable.
If you like this genre and are okay putting up with character flaws and some areas where the writing is still developing then it's worth the read. I would definitely be interested in reading more of this author's later works as my issues were less 'the author is terrible' and more 'the author hasn't fully come into her prime yet, but has good instinct.'
