2.0

The idea behind this book was good. Sadly, the main character is completely unlikable and has almost no redeeming qualities. She should never have survived the 7 years preceding the story because her skills are unbelievable. The way the book explains how she got them is not credible. And on top of that, she is just stupid and reckless, so even if she had the skills she supposedly has, she would have gotten herself killed because she cannot plan. Throughout the book, she should have died multiple times because of her own actions. 

The ending is nice, but cannot make up for the train wreck that is the rest of the book.
