Rasmira is a character you instantly love, equally for her strength and her vulnerability, because even if she may be the strongest warrior, her mother seems to hate her and her father is never entirely pleased with her.

I'm straight up 'hood born and 'hood raised. Lest you think me some suburb-rised cultural elitest, let me set you straight. These books glorify an opportunisitic, materialistic, sexist, violent, and sometimes criminal world that teens live or wish to live.
