Helpful Score: 1

Action packed sci-fi adventure. We are in a world ruled by a warrior caste. The story revolves around Amaranthe, an "enforcer" (like a police officer) who is very upstanding and takes her job seriously. A traitor who is trying to get rid of her sends her on an impossible, probably suicidal mission, and she ends up as a fugitive. She gathers a group of misfits and leads them in trying to stop a plot to assassinate the emperor, who is young and naive. Really fast-moving, clever plotting, a bit of humor and a good cast of entertaining characters. There are some hints of attraction between Amaranthe and Sicarius, a former assassin who is one of the gang of misfits, but no actual romance. I really got caught up in the story, couldn't put it down.
