The first two-thirds of the book was pretty slow, and I was a bit bored at times. Then all hell broke loose, and I loved every second of it. I love a good stabby girl, and Jude did not disappoint by the end! It's always a mystery to me how a 17 year old girl turns into a dagger-wielding, strategic mastermind in the last 100 pages of a fantasy book, but I'm here for it.
