Review: Wonderful and Strangely Gripping

One of the best Kindle books I have read this year - Shadow Ryana is the story of a poor, uneducated and unusual child taken into the shadow sisterhood and trained to be a spy. She is sent on an impossible mission right after she completes her grueling schooling and final test. She faces challenge after dreadful challenge and overcomes them but only by breaking all that she was taught and at the cost of her soul. This book doesn't have any great grammar, writing or pleasant structure, but the simple language strangely works quite well for the manner in which Ryana thinks - an incredibly focused, controlled and talented protagonist who is simple of heart and mind, but forced to violent deeds due to her oath and duty.
