Despite it dealing with a lot of powerful and emotional issues (loss, betrayal, love, self-respect, companionship, loyalty and more), I consider the book quite a light read. It is quick-paced enough that it doesn’t bore you, yet not so much so that you lose track of the events. I did quite like the protagonist, she felt like a well-rounded character that I wanted to follow through the story.
