• definitely more YA than adult fantasy
• started off enjoying the romance but eventually just found that neither guy was actually decent in any way
• literally hated both of them, so whiny and possessive
• love arrow, not love triangle
• the writing style is amazing, super atmospheric, great world building
• action sequences were wonderful, I do love a badass heroine

Original review: Audiobook narration isn’t doing it for me so I’m gonna come back to this when I have a physical copy. 

Last review: this book had lots of potential but fell flat. The pacing and plot was off, the love triangle was irritating, super indecisive main character (refreshing at times but not overall). I did like that their was pretty good character development and the use of mythological elements. Very predictable unfortunately. Liked that it could be read as a standalone too. Don't think I will pick up book 2 in the duology. I don't regret reading but don't recommend.
