As someone who doesn't like violence, the opening of this first impression was difficult for me to read, but the market place and foreign country culture kept me reading.

I liked the idea of women being blacksmiths and being strong and the idea that society didn't think highly of them made me angry.

Then, the last paragraphs made my jaw drop in surprise because I went into this sample blind without reading the synopsis.
