3.5-3.75. I liked it, but didn’t really connect with the characters. Disliked two of them straight up, liked the other four. Wish there was more spice as it is a romantasy book. Will probably read the next one but not before the rest of my TBR pile.

I swear, I complained through 98% of the book. No really, my buddy read comments would back me up.
I didn't care for much about it; the plot was droll, predictable, and every problem was resolved within 5-10 pages. I didn't care for the characters; they were boring, predictable, and rather one dimensional. I couldn't get a solid read on the setting (I know there's an author's note with her inspirations for this original setting, but it still made it hard for me to ground it in reality). I REALLY didn't care for the writing; I never in my LIFE have read a book with a worse case of "telling, not showing". Everything was so plainly laid out, repeated so you didn't miss it, everything was so... undetailed. It felt like high school fanfiction where you have short chapters that end with an unnecessarily dramatic final sentence to ensure readers came back for the next upload...
Good lord, did I hate the writing.
And even though I called who the traitor was fairly early, I did get caught up in the dramatics of the ending. And goddammit, I'm thinking about reading book 2. You know when you're watching a terrible movie, but you're already this far in, you might as well finish it...
