My main issue was with the plot—I thought it was a little messy and there were some plot holes that never got filled.
The characters were okay, but not compelling enough to make me overlook my issues with the plot. Deka was likable but inconsistent and no one else really gets a character arc (no, I do not consider the love interest’s development as an arc because it was way too unbelievable and fast and convenient for the plot...).
Overall, it was entertaining and a quick read, but I don’t think I’ll read the sequels.
Read if you like: young adult fantasy, female warriors.
