But I found myself really appreciating all of the characters in this story. This book was filled with a large cast of characters, which usually I’m not a fan of because it makes it hard to really know any of them. I sound so old, I swear I’m only a teenager, at the time of this review.) It’s not very often that we see a female heroine who is clever, strong, fair, determined, caring, and loves both her weapons and her dresses. Alosa’s commitment to herself and who she was as a person sets an example for young people today. The goodĪlosa is by no means a perfect character but I really appreciated Levenseller’s efforts to create a heroine who defied traditional gender stereotypes. Things were happening, but nothing was really happening, and it all felt a bit repetitive. Don’t get me wrong, action was going on but it seemed like the same events were occurring over and over again. The beginning was a little slow, in general. This thankfully disappeared once the action really got started and the story took off. The narration was a bit strange at the beginning of the novel with Alosa describing the intention behind every little action. A clean and simple cover design with a nice pop of color.
