** spoiler alert ** 
 I got a recommendation for this novel, but it didn't thrill me really. The whole girl pretending to be a man/boy bit was done far better by Django Wexlerr with Ihrenglass. 
 Rest was okayish. Bit of continuity issues I believe and some plot holes. All in all it earned a 3 because it kept me entertained enough to read till end, but I don't see myself rereading it anytime soon if ever and it didn't really interest me enough to anxiously wait for the sequel.
