Audiobook
Narrator 5 stars- excellent
Story 4 stars good but I felt like I missed something
A young girl is saved from hanging by a nun with some different beliefs than the nuns I'm used to. She is pursued by a nasty man with revenge in his black heart. The nuns take her in fight for her, while teaching her. Some are assassins, some have a wicked mean streak. BTW This is not a religious book. The bad is relentless, super nasty, and powerful.
There are powers, touched on, whispered of almost. I really couldn't nail down what were the powers, she could they could but it was never really exposed ? I felt like I missed something somewhere, did I ? Maybe this is something explored in the next book
This could have been a 5 star book except for the long length of details and lack of action. Even so, with all the info dumping it was a solid read, fun with great characters. I enjoyed reading every page but it seemed like it took forever to get someplace.
I think I'll read the next book, we'll see.

I go back and forth between a 4 and 4.5
The only thing bothering me is the lenght. This felt like two books in one. Still I want to continue this serie.
