I really enjoyed the narrative style, most of the characters and pacing of this book. The story follows 2 characters though, and the second is considerably less compelling than the first. Although this offered perspectives that allow the reader to view the story in a more holistic way.

Ignore the tag that says it is Mulan meets The Song of Achilles, it is darker, more complex and far more compelling than the rather basic comparisons.
