Thank you netgalley and Wednesday Books for this arc!

This was my first book with Fonda Lee's writing and I enjoyed it quite a bit, and enjoyed the faithfulness to all the different martial arts described throughout. I will say I was kind of bored through the first half of the book, but that's kind of my fault for reading tons of martial manhwas! 

The first half of the book definitely felt like it was written for a teenage reader, however during the second half it felt more adult. I will be eagerly waiting for the sequel as I'm curious what happens next!
