Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 
 I was not sure what I was getting into when I started reading this book but I went along for the ride anyway and, well, what a ride it was. 
 A Girl Named Calamity was about a farm girl who's life had changed. She needed to leave home when she discovered that she's the key to Alyria's destruction. Her adventure began with the help of a hired assassin, Weston, to reach her destination. But the question was, can he be trusted? 
 Weston's character was really intriguing. He's such an enigma, a labyrinth you'd want to explore. Every single time I flipped for the next page, I always wished that I could get a POV of him so I'd know what the heck was whirring on his mind. But as expected, there's none. 
 I thought it was confusing and a bit boring. But it had a complex and intricately plotted tale. It was a bit too fast-paced but really exciting and an action-adventure extravaganza. 
 I just find it really disturbing how OC Calamity was--she ALWAYS takes a bath in every city they'd been to. Also, another disturbing thing I noticed was how terrible women were treated in Alyria. I get that the author was trying to show us how brutal the world our heroine lives in, I get that women were treated poorly... No, actually I don't get why women and children were poorly treated. I can only take so much as reading on every page about everyone's sex life and desires. 
 However, I am excited on how Calamity and Weston's story will progress. I'm so ready to get these two together. 
 All in all, I liked it. I was hoping for more than what the book gave. Anyway, the ending was shocking. I mean, we were promised that it doesn't have a cliffhanging ending, but of course I knew there was a cliffhanger, I just didn't think it would be that intense. I'm really excited to read the next one.
