Two stories about young women taking the reigns of their destinies and forging their own paths. Amusingly both series characters are prophesied in one way or another to bring great upheaval to their respective countries. Both have strong brave women that were betrayed by their loved ones, both will go on a journey that will eventually have them meet up with the allies they need and both gain massive character development as the story goes one learning to be more compassionate and thoughtful. That said the heroines and the stories are polar opposites of each other. Song's heroine is a wise and cunning strategist as well as an adept swords-woman and the plot is grounded in reality with most of whats going on especially the battles being realistic and strategic. Yona is more of a charismatic "instinctual" commander who learns how to fight from scratch and the plot has some quite a number of fantastical elements to it and the battles can get quite one sided for that reason.
