I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I devoured this book in one sitting. A thrilling story of love, war and revenge. The main character's dark actions are driven by her love for her brother, who died too soon to the horrors of war. In between it all, there are tales of her love and trysts with other women, and her strange relationship with the holy man who came to take her last confession.

Also, I didn't expect that ending, but it was more satisfying and perfect than I thought it would be.
