This is... a solid book. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I wanted to see where the character development was heading. I got a good understanding of the world the story was set in.

Though I know it’s YA, I did find myself wishing it was a proper adult novel given the subject matter it brushes over throughout the plot and the general premise of the main character being an assassin. There were a few moments I was pulled away from the story because the tone of the writing felt very young/childish for a character that is far from that.

Overall, I enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next one in the series!
