The only way they can come back home is if they completely an impossible task (their matugr). The stakes are high right off the bat because we learn that anyone that doesn't pass the trials will be banished from their village to go survive on their own in the wild. I won't say much about that but my heart hurts even thinking of what they do to her. ![]() There are some bullies that seem to have it out for Rasmira because she is the daughter of their leader and feels she gets too much special treatment.

Rasmira, our protagonist, is a very likeable character and it's really easy to get on her side and root for her survival and success.

I just adore her writing and her strong, intelligent female characters. ![]() Tricia Levenseller knocks it out of the part for me again. ![]()
