I loved how strong the character of Rachel is and how strong she becomes throughout the story. Her father is a tracker (who are sent outside the walls of their city and is a very dangerous job) and when he fails to come home from a mission, Rachel is determined to find him no matter what. Rachel is a very strong character and will do anything for her father. Rachel, bring brought up single handed by her father, was brought up leaning sword fighting, how to defend herself and how to survive beyond the walls where they live (in secret, so people other than herself and her father do not know she has been brought up differently to everyone else). The women are brought up not knowing or wanting any different, apart from Rachel. When the y are of 'claiming' age, there is a ceremony where they are claimed by a male companion, get married and set up family. Until they are of 'claiming' age, they are not to be outside of their house unless they are accompanied by a male protector. They live in a society where there is a leader called a Commander whose word is final and the women do not have many choices or opportunities. Rachel was brought up by her father her mother having died shortly after she was born. Links: Goodreads / .uk / įirstly, let me tell you a little bit about Rachel and the world she lives in. They discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war Monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood,
