EDIT - After reading the whole series, I had to come back to this review and increase this book's rating; I now appreciate it so much more than when I first read it! The fact that the FMC is so young pulled me away a bit...I might be picky with my female leads but I just don't like reading about a teenager who is the best of the very best - at assassinating too?! Don't think so...Why couldn't she be in her early 20s at least? That would have been more believable compared to being 17 years old...Nonetheless, the pacing and the collection of stories are entertaining and kept me coming back to find out how it'll be all tied together in the end.
