Hemlock, the hero of this saga, is a strong, moral young lady who goes from thief to vigilante hero of the crime-ridden Warrens, where she lives. What is enthralling is being privy to the internal workings of Hemlock' s thought processes, how she experiences her various adventures, her growth and development... In some ways, she is distant and cold, but strangely charismatic and compelling; the reader wants to be her friend.The other main characters are also well developed.  In many cases, you are also allowed into their thoughts, reasoning, and perspective, but Ms. Throwsnaill never tells the secrets that would give away the surprise ending until the end comes.I look forward to reading the continuation of Hemlock' s adventures.
