It was well written but in the end I found I just couldn’t really care about all the wars anymore. The main character starts out angry and just continues to stay angry. I grew tired of it. I’m curious about part 2 and 3 (mostly because the politics is getting more interesting), but think I’ll skip it. If you’re in the mood for violence and a badass, angry Asian heroine this is for you ;)
