Bear with it, she's a bit of an idiot when she first arrives, but she gets better...although, she's wishy-washy under the 'mother' manipulation of an asshole. (Greater good, my lily white... Judge Judy and executioner...) Politics, conspiracies, battles, soul searching/slapping, creepy hags and a hot advisor with awesome hair, what more could ya want?
This is complicated, but she kicks ass from start to finish and gets all three of her men. First she's a transfer, so she works with that, fighting for survival and against corruption one step at a time until she learns it's all the times.... Hmm, just gonna have to read it.
Another chance, this time, she's going to survive. So she hopes. She does have weak moments, but she has been abused by those who were supposed to be her family. He is desperate to save her, as many times as it takes. This is involved, and leads the characters on a journey through time, hope and revenge.
She is resolute, despite her ups and downs dealing with her dual characteristics and bubbling optimism. It's cute, with enough intrigue and character growth; it's a little predictable, but what story isn't at this point? She does have a few wavering moments, but she ploughs through and faces them as best she can. As stated above, it's cute.
Rolling with what life/death throws at her, she learns about others, herself and what living can really be. There's a war on, both before and after for her, but it's in this new world that she discovers there's more to life than just death. It's a decent tale with just enough action and angst. Yes, there's predictability, but, please, there's not really anything brand spanking new in fiction, as it's all limited to what the reader knows and wants.
Now, of course, it takes a near death experience (i.e. cerebral recalibration) for her to awaken her memories and see her current life for what it is, dangerous, and then take the necessary steps to make it less so, with a little help from the friends she makes along the way. She crashes through her trials, reworks her tribulations, and changes the lives of everyone by the end of it. It's not bad, though some is missing, it's not hard to fill in the blanks.
