And another one to add to my faves! 
 I Love Amaranthe, she is smart, she is funny, and overall she does not feel sorry for herself but tries to turn each bad situation into an opportunity. She is creative she is the leader of a rogue gang of random people trying to help the kingdom. 
 Best of all, the team is made out of different characters. All with their own strengths and weaknesses and a intriguing assassin with our girl as LEADER *and not just because she is 'pretty' or 'special', but because she actually comes up with plans and acts on them, help or no. Not have I had so much fun with this since reading Poison Study. Ok, ok.. So the 'Magic' in this world is not that big of a part.. yet.. It feels more like a Steampunk novel to me. 
 And the Romance.. yeah not that romantic either.. yet (I can still feel the anticipation though which is keeping me wanting to read on). But im a sucker for slow and realistic build and if anything this book has a great flair of capturing relationships in a good way be it romantic or otherwise. 
 The multiple POV's (generally 2) apparently each from a different team member and our girl, is another great prospect for me to pick up the next books.. I absolutely love to get to know their way of thinking/viewing the situations. 
 Overall, im off to read No.2, and possibly to buy the whole series in hardcover for a spot in my special book case.
