3.0

Entertaining, and that's pretty much it. I liked reading about a lady exacting revenge on shitty people, but Maud wasn't very endearing. She didn't have to be likeable, but she wasn't compelling. In fact, she was a bit of a "not like other girls" girl, which only shows that the mindset defies age. The pace was also. bit odd. The last few chapters focusing on Maud's trip seemed out of place pot and tone wise.
