boring. I enjoyed the first third (about her being raised to become a pain seeking spy courtesan) but then all the intrigue went out of it when she ended up stranded as a barbarian slave, and it never really came back. just boring.

The writing style and number of names made this a challenging read
I have never encountered erotic historical fiction of a caliber to match this work by Jacqueline Carey. If you have a drop of kinky blood in your body you'll adore this book quickly. If you don't, there's still so much to love about it.

while I'm sure this gets better, and I can see how intricate this entire universe is, I simply didn't care for what I've read so far or the prose. I promised myself I would dnf books more often rather than forcing my way through them, and I think a 900+ page book is too big a sacrifice. I might come back to this down the road, but as it currently stands I'll pass

Interesting premise but the beginning was super uncomfortable because the protagonist was a literal child. I don't really feel compelled to read more in the series though.
