“There’s a familiar trend in revenge stories—particularly those with female protagonists—for the character to learn, grow, find other sources of peace, and move on from their narrow focus on vengeance. While forgiveness is likely an admirable and healthier path, it is one that limits the range of female emotion, excluding everything from righteous indignation to incandescent rage. Ames, however, brilliantly dispenses with nobility and goodness in Adra immediately—she is complex, tempestuous, deeply flawed, and has a hunger for retribution that is undiminished by the wisdom, patience, and kindness of her best friend and crew.”
