Interesting premise, but tedious execution. Every other chapter jumps back in time which breaks any narrative urgency. The heroine is the best fighter ever, a brilliant sleuth, a penniless orphan. She doesn't feel like a real person.
The setting is interesting though, and I almost care about several of the characters.
