DNF at 37%. Super pulpy. Probably considered a fun read, but not my style. MC gets beaten to shit regularly but isn't emotionally involved in it, seems like she has a chip on her shoulder, "another day another broken bone" style. I like murkier, darker, more complicated conflict. The baddies were relatively one dimensional. The writing is average. Action packed, but in a boring way - I don't care to visualize the choreography of a dozen battles. The plot itself was hardly getting established but I wasn't feeling it.
Moderate: Murder and Injury/Injury detail
