Loved this book. Intro to fantasy. VERY violent. I’d prefer less violence and no more torture please.

Do not know why this book is so highly rated 😩 All development between characters was so cheap. Show not tell is important, and obviously this author doesn’t know it. Suddenly her characters are in love for absolutely no reason or build. High potential, but absolutely missed the mark.

Very good introductory fantasy book. A majority of the book is a very domestic fish out of water plot that may be boring to some but I found entertaining and a good introduction to the ACOTAR/TOG/CC world building/Sarah J. Moss’s writing style. The climax of the story comes in quite late and feels a bit rushed but isn’t awful.
