BLURB from Goodreads
Having already survived six years at the Tildor's top military academy, sixteen-year-old Renee De Winter is determined to graduate, training day and night to compete with her male classmates. When the boys overpower her parries, she works harder. When a bully sabotages her gear, she fights without it. But when an underground crime group captures her mentor for its illegal gladiatorial games, she must choose between her career and her conscience. Determined to penetrate the group's inner circles, Renee will leap from academia to the crime filled streets, pick up a sword, and weigh law against loyalty.

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!
