I don't normally read this genre, I am certainly glad I did. The Author's confidence in her world allowed me to step beyond my comfort zone and sink into Kare's reality.
It is well written making it visually and emotionally rich as we follow Kare through a world ruled by a less than benign Empress.

It might well be a debut, and from a small press but neither fact impacts the narrative or presentation of the book. The use of familiar tropes is the balance against unexpected events dealt out to the characters.

While it's not my 'normal' read, I will be buying the next instalment.
