novella42's review against another edition

Too many of my PTSD triggers. Even with just 3% left of the book, I just couldn't force myself through it.

I was too frustrated by the way the author seemed to use a broken bones as if to add emphasis to the character's experience, but it was low stakes because it would all just be healed away repeatedly when it was convenient for the author. I get it, it's a choice plenty of fantasy authors make, but it wasn't for me.

I meant to come back to it when I had more energy and resilient mental health, but the audiobook returned to the library and I am not that motivated.
