4 stars because the story was riveting and although it took a few chapters to really get into it, it had me hooked. Missing 1 star because the main character is insufferable and it was a headache to be stuck following half of her absolutely moronic choices throughout the book. From start to finish it felt like she was given multiple options no matter what and she always chose the WORST one. On purpose. Because she thinks it proves something or that her stubbornness will win no matter what, which is ridiculous.
***The next part will contain small SPOILERS so don't continue from here if you have not read the book yet!
The worst part of that was everyone around her who just keeps praising her near the end for simply surviving through the outcome of her stupid choices.

A fun read. Definitely unique and I enjoyed how it didn't try to redo the Serpent and Dove trilogy. It's own story and allowed side characters to grow.
