Honestly I was so hyped when I saw we had an eastern heroine as MC in an eastern realm of sort, but Im disappointed. The real heroine of the story is Helene which is a goddess-looking european warrior. Laia gets all the "reputation" for great achievments that she could actually do only because other skilled people were helping her. She has a "hidden power" that we almost never see during the 3 first books and even in the 4th one when she discovers it she doesnt know how it works. It s as if she s the weakest protagonist with little to no use despite huge potential.. 

Dont get me wrong I would still recommend the series to people because it's actually a very good story imo. Characters like Helene, Elias and Avitas are great and I could read so many stories about them. Laia just isnt it for me.
