Great series. Even though this is book 0.5, I think reading book 1 gives a lot of context and would recommend 1 first. TW for forced marriage.

There's a really big diversion between what the first half of the book and the second half.
I greatly enjoyed the first half of the book but found the second half more often uncomfortable to read due to some of the ways the characters talked about some of the fictional races.
