Trust me when I say, this book is a slow burn that is totally worth the wait. In all honesty, Beaty takes a lot of time to lay out a back story for the characters that probably could have been sped up a bit. If you want to skim up until Sage meets Ash, you totally can. It will help you get into the story better by doing so. When this book was originally advertised, I believe they described it as a new take on Mulan. Everyone was pretty up in arms about it but I can see a few similarities between the two. The beginning where Sage is forced to meet with a matchmaker, her wanting to help the army and dress in the men’s clothes rather than dresses, etc. It definitely is not a “retelling of Mulan” but it would very much interest readers that like a strong female protagonist. I must say, I absolutely LOVED this book. It got better with each chapter and had me hooked on the “who done it” aspect. The romance is heartbreakingly sweet, the action is gripping and the characters are relatable. I highly recommend picking this one up, just remember to stick with it to the end!
