3.0

A pretty standard faire YA novel, told in an alternate history of our world where America turns to monarchy instead of democracy. I wasn’t super sucked into the story nor attached to the characters, but I enjoyed myself nonetheless as we follow an abused young woman forced into captivity and secret missions in an attempt to have control over her own destiny. 

I don’t think I’ll read on in the series, but for a younger reader this would probably be a very enjoyable series.
