‘‘The price of living seems to always be death.‘‘
‘‘And that is why you become a dealer of death. You feed death as many people as you can to keep it full and content so its eye stays off you.‘‘

I love anti-heroes, and Lada is as bad-ass as they come. This book is unusual because it's rare in YA fiction to have a female character that is absolutely brutal. This was an intensely satisfying, well-woven tale.
