What a great read! This is a plot that I’ve come across before, but, I have to say, this author does it best!! He/she is able to capture the essence (or close enough) of what an assassin should be and not just pick and choose their skills and traits. FL’s assassin persona seamlessly transfer over into her new life(character) without losing any traits or characteristics of her old life. I like the fact that she is still a cold and aloof person even as an 8 yr old. Our FL is a baddie!! I like how her emotions are slowly introduced to use and doesn’t just change drastically. A journey to survive in this new world, where her character grows to protect the ppl she eventually come to care for. Now, if only the pace would pick up a tad bit faster! ?
