I loved this book. The writing was great & the plot kept me engaged. The problem was the stereotypical “bad” people. 

Making the only gay character(s?- Leif?) gay, the pissy, rude women fat or consistently pointing out their huge mole that made them ugly, etc.) Also, the way Ava Shay just doesn’t get any real inner turmoil about being raped in general, let alone the ruler of the invading army. Killing Shawcroft after he basically just became good or useful in Nail’s eyes. Making a poor pony fall down a cavern? It just felt like he was killing off the teenage characters so there’d be less people to trek across Gul Kana.
