I was fortunate to come upon this story when it was already completed, so all I had to do was binge read. And I did. Yes, we do have a clever self-reliant heroine, but she recognizes her weaknesses and actively finds ways to counter them. There is significant character growth, even among minor characters (and I love that) and there are the occasional humourous asides which are unforced and don't detract from the novel's pacing. This was an enjoyable work to read.
