Ye Gods. What we had here was a weepy heroine. I understand life can take a toll on you and you gotta let it all out, but if I'm tallying up all the times the heroine bursts into tears, and it creeps over ten...then you're in big, big trouble. 
 The good news is when Sarai is impersonating "Izabel", she has a lot of spunk to her spine and is like a different person altogether, and towards the ending, "Izabel" just about saves Sarai's character for me. 
 Will I check out the sequel/s? 
 I might. But not before I find another assassin story that is miles better...(Victor is kinda hot here. But he's not enough for me to stick around. I don't know...I might return...undecided as of now.)
