Quite Contrary
"Another brilliant part of the novel is the inner monologue that goes through the main characters head. She's not the normal stereotypical heroine that kicks ass but nor is she a meek 'oh please save' me style character either.  She's a grumpy, sometimes sullen young girl who is equal part cynical and brave along with moments of massive self doubt. Roberts really has done a superb job of creating a character that is both fully fleshed out as well as feeling realistic, which for a fantasy  novel isquitean achievement."- Patrick Challis, 'Curiosity of a Social Misfit' review blog
