This dark and gritty book is beautifully written with a little girl protagonist you are absolutely rooting for in the violent and male-obsessed society that she moved to.

The Waking Land by Callie Bates
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

The main character is the most annoying, righteous, obnoxious character who thinks she knows everything DESPITE being brainwashed by a hostage kingdom and suppressing all her magic. She keeps defending the hostage kingdom when it is made very obvious she's been brainwashed and force fed lies. It is beyond stupid
