It's a nice read, I had hoped for a bit more Asian culture weaved into the story telling. It has a lot of classic YA story. Banished one seeking freedom, while she learns and trains to become greatness she falls in love with two men who love her back but can't.

What I did like is that the story closes. I was a bit fearfull to start it as the sequel wasn't out yet, but it doesn't end with a cliffhanger.
