"In the center of this world is Maika, a girl who losther mother and most of her left arm and is on a quest for answers or vengeance,whichever comes first. She's defensive, quick to anger, and not entirelyconvinced of her own sanity. In other words, she's a fictional woman imbued withall the faults and flaws of a real one." -New Yorkmagazine/Vulture
