bitterlina 's review for:

Lady Knight by Amalie Howard
3.0
adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Sweet YA with a strong feminist POV. 
Characters are a bit OTT to be believable. 

Rafi is described as a rake yet simultaneously as a boy. Not sure he's old enough to achieve that status and nothing about his character indicates that he is the least bit roguish. 

 Zia, the daughter of a Duke, is a composer of unique music, reader of "subversive" literature, the leader of a band of merry thieves, diamond of the season, all rolled into one rebellious teenager.
