gurofl's review against another edition

I liked the start of the book well enough, but about halfway through, the book turned into everything I don't like about young adult books (this is marketed as adult fantasy, but seriously. It's young adult): a bit two-dimensional, the main character doing very stupid things to advance the plot, and everything being very dramatic. From the character's feelings (going rapidly back and forth between the ends of the spectrum) and motivations, to the dialogue between the characters.
The main character is 25. She reads as a teenager.  
Definitely not for me.

Tldr; I was expecting a lot more, and I feel like the story would’ve benefitted from a slower pace and maybe another book for the second half. There was just a lot all the time, and it smothered what was good.
