I got to chapter 4 and it was just too boring for me. The FMC is obviously an alcoholic and I don’t love that in a character. especially when they are supposed to be this bad a** bounty hunter/torturer. Just wasn’t for me.

 It kind of reminds me of TOG series - when Aelin is hanging out on rooftops drinking away her worries and being pitiful. But this drinking seemed like the characters whole personality. Again, it’s just not for me.

I had a fun time reading it! It felt very cliche in the beginning, but you could really watch Keera's character unfold from the alcoholic we meet in the first chapters. She is, of course, a broody, badass, top-notch assassin, but the baggage she carries also obviously takes its toll on her as the story progresses. The ending was one I did see coming, but I was shocked when I finally got to that point! I'm excited to see where this story goes and what's in store for our badass heroine.
