Characters were not believable and all over the place. The writing, especially the portrayal of emotion, wasn't great. Overall the storyline had great promise but it wasn't executed well.

È orribile. No, sul serio. É una favola per bambini con parolacce e stupri ficcati dentro a forza. La protagonista è spessa come un foglio di carta ed è lo stereotipo della inetta che diventa improvvisamente un genio, diplomatica e stratega. L'autrice deve essere stata vittima di un editor con pessime potenzialità, perché la trama ed i personaggi si smentiscono tra una riga e l'altra alla velocità impressionante di chi non ha capito in che direzione deve andare 'sto caspio di libro.
