   This is a rare female-oriented novel with well-written action scenes. Set against the backdrop of a chaotic world where survival is paramount, the female protagonist truly fights her way through, building her own force and even commanding it. She sustains herself through warfare, demonstrating both strategic acumen and ruthless decisiveness, proving she's not just a pure strategist. The ensemble cast is also well-developed; the female characters are only influenced by the protagonist in the middle of the story, initially appearing as medics and shadowy figures, with the female general only emerging later.
