Interesting, but something is off

These are exciting few chapters. The idea of giving them titles as food is very cute.
I finished my First Impression and I really wanted to know how it went on. I want to see what is the matter with Ms Summerland, why she deserves a knife in her chest, and what is so important about the missing glove.
The flashbacks, where the protagonist tells what happened in Berlin, are probably the most interesting bits of the story, at least in these first chapters.

But as my title says, something is off. I think it's in the tone of the protagonist. The story is in first person and the protagonist is a young kid. We don't know the age, but she must be a bit older than 12. However, the way she thinks and speaks is way off: she sounds like an adult! Of course, her premature maturity might be the result of her past experiences, but anyway it does not sound pretty.
Moreover, I was surprised (not necessarily in a bad way) from the speed of action. In three chapters we get to know the setting, the protagonist, her goal and...we get it! I wonder what's left to say in the rest of the book!
