I was so excited for this book. A book about an assassin school with a badass female main character. Sign me up.

However, as soon as I started this book I DNF’ed it for one huge reason and one small reason.

The small reason: those annoying footnotes. Every single time I had to take myself out of the flow of the story to read an unnecessary footnote, I rolled my eyes. They just screamed lazy writing. It’s like the writer read the final draft of the book and said, “Damn. I forgot to explain what’s happening.”, so he just added footnotes at the end instead of writing a good book.

The huge reason: the only Black characters in the book were labeled as “savages”. As soon as I read that I automatically sent it back to my library. THAT is what made this the only 1 star review I’ve ever written. I’m so happy I didn’t waste my money buying this.
