Like Fairy Tale, I was bored reading it, and I liked the premise of the book more than I liked the actual book. I loved the world she built, and I loved the idea of people being born with extreme skills and being feared and exploited and even shunned because of it.

It was very well-written, but I didn’t like the pace of the novel during certain parts of the book. I would’ve liked to have gotten into Katsa’s head a little more, and to see what she was thinking.

Katsa’s very independent and insisted that she would never get married. It was nice to see such an indpendent female.

For a debut novel, it was decent, and I’m hoping that her second book (which is a prequel to this one) is better.

It gets a 3 out of 5. I liked it, but felt there was room for improvement.
