I wanted to like this one a lot more than I actually did. The positives: the characters are fleshed out well, and the central themes of sisterhood and cultural belonging are overwhelmingly present.
Unfortunately, the strong themes are diminished by poor execution. The pacing is dreadful — there is a long chunk in the middle of preparing for a big fight that is anticlimactic, derivative, and most importantly only a couple pages long. There are also some pretty solid gore scenes, but not enough to classify this as horror. Overall, the plot might have been strong if the writing was not so disappointing.
