***** - ...I'm still baffled how a novella can have such an immersive world that it feels full length...***** - ...high-stakes, a little unpredictable, and just really fun to read. And that ending... yeah, I'm already impatiently waiting for the next book because I need answers...***** - ...hard to put down... the kind of story that stays with you and leaves you curious to see more of this world.***** - ...something about the author's writing style and the plot sucks me in and refuses to let go

They rescued her. Trained her.

Aimed her at the man who had it coming.

Rory thought she was choosing justice.

She didn't realise she'd been chosen first.
