MY OPINION
After reading the description of the main character Renee De Winteris reminds me immediately of Celaena from A Throne Like Glass, so as i loved that book it seems a postive in favour of the Cadet Of Tildor. I am presuming this book is meant for girls really to show that they can be as good at fighting as boys etc.
I like the cover, the colours suggest fire and fighting.
So when is this book going to be out? I hear you shout, that's the negative if you can call it a negative, it isn't due out until 10th January 2013, so it's not a read it now, more of a make a note of it for later, put it on your 2013 wishlists!
