I really enjoyed this book very much I am looking forward to where the story goes from here. I loved many of the characters but I especially loved Artemisia she was a breath of fresh air she is so different from many other YA female MCs she has a dry wit she doesn't really like people very much she actually seems to scare people without even trying she isn't perfect not everything will always go her way. She does change a little not very much but by the end she has people she cares about she has faced many fears and has came out all the better for it all. I also loved the Revenant that powerful spirit was interesting who at first seems to just hate humans but as more is revealed it really comes to care for Artemisia. The other characters that surround Artemisia are interesting the friend from the convent a soldier she meets and the character who is thought of as a antagonist for much of the story who changes a great deal by the end. I loved the plot it started off with Artemisia who is misunderstood and just wants to avoid people she is then found out to have greater power then the convent is under attack and she gains the Revenant who she grows to think of more than just a thing to use many things are found out she is hunted more things happen and finally we have a pretty good ending looking forward to where the story goes from here.
