I could sit here and list all the things that annoyed me about this book - cock-ups with Russian that even *I* spotted, weird obsession with beauty and make overs, cookie-cutter nature of the protagonist - but actually I feel like that would be overly harsh. Despite all its flaws, I enjoyed it, read it in one day, and am considering the sequel. 
 Sure it has issues, and it confirms my general distrust of books with maps in the front, but it's fun escapism for an afternoon. A good solid 3/5. 
 Read this if: 
 - you want a bit of light escapism 
 - you like a cookie cutter strong-yet-vulnerable heroine 
 Don't read this if: 
 - you can't deal with hamfisted cultural appropriation 
 - you want originality
