Helpful Score: 2

Finally a YA book with a strong, independent female whose desire isn't to be rescued by some prince or married off with children. There are so many books that already have the whole prince rescues princess, or girl wants boy for marriage/kids. It's been overdone!

So, it is so very refreshing to find a novel where the heroine can fight her own battles, is fiercely independent, has future goals/plans, and, at the same time, isn't so aloof/cold that she can't have relationships, friendships, ask for help when needed, etc.

On top of that, the plot is engaging. I read this in one day. Just fantastic. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.
