3.5/5

Okay so I get the comparison to Code Name Verity but I'm totally failing to understand the Shadow and Bone comparison.

I really liked that we got a main character who was physically disabled. She's very independent, genuine, smart, capable and so damn strong. She was easily my favourite of all the characters. It took me some time to not hate the other main character who was pretty ignorant and rude for the book (no matter the justifications given).

I found the world building and political conflict to be REALLY lacking in development. It needed much more explanation. The ending plot was also kind of unsatisfying and abrupt. It needed another 2 chapters at least.
