5.0
Such an amazing debut novel. Each character, both women and men, is written to perfection. Character development plays an important roll; I found myself rooting for both the hero and the villain and many of the side characters (both ‘good’ and ‘bad’). If you want a sometimes dark and gruesome, but also at times inspiring, hopeful, and clever book with lots of action and adventure, and entertaining and loveable characters, then please read this book!
