Entertaining and different! Kita is a complex character with a rich and complex personality. Birthright is a riveting, fast-paced coming of age story with an intriguing blend of settings (blending of historical eras), genres (fantasy, sci-fi), and themes. This is a fun read and look forward to where the story goes and how Kita develops.

Kita the assassin is not the most likeable character--she's an antihero--but she's certainly one of the most complex personalities I've read about. Despite her self-centredness, there are lines even she won't cross and she is incredibly loyal to those who stand by her. You will feel empowered along with Kita as you read this book.

As someone who's been a fan of this series for a few years, I've read most of the books. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys strong female leads and sci-fi. It's reminiscent of some of the best high-action anime series (Blue Eyed Samurai comes to mind because of its fast pace and vengeful protagonist).

You don't have to be part of the LGBTQ+ community to enjoy this series. Also, Birthright doesn't delve as much into Kita's relationships, but the rest of the books definitely do.
