I loved this one. A tale of identity after Deka is banished to warrior training due to her impure blood and must find out the truth of her bloodline.
Pros:
- strong female friendships
- intricate without being overly complicated
- good world building
- romantic subplot that doesn't overshadow or become a focus
Cons:
- there is a severe amount of physical violence toward the main character before the plot truly begins. It serves a purpose but seemed to be overly descriptive with little reason.
