This book starts out as a murder mystery whodunnit kind of book, granted against an Italian inspired fantasy world backdrop. I didn't quite expect that but was fairly entertained by the Italian-ness. It develops more and more into your usual rebellion against an oppressive upper class with a senseless war and I have to admit that I wasn't too surprised by most of the developments. Characters were interesting in the way that the FMC is very opinionated and strong whereas the MMC seems softer. What I actually really liked was the portrayal of trauma, war-related PTSD and the long lasting effects on all.
