After two years of sitting on my tbr shelf, I finally read this book, and it just didn't capture me like I wanted it to. I found the plot to be pretty boring, and I saw some things coming from the beginning, but even the twist that I did predict, I just didn't care about it. Unfortunately, I think my expectations were too high with this one, and I won't be continuing with the series (in general, I don't like to read a lot of series).

It's funny because I really liked this book up until the big reveal. It seems everyone else hated the first half and loved the end.

Mid. The prose was good, but nothing happens in the first 75% of the book.

3.75!! I liked the adventure, not sure about the ending.

I really wish the MC was actually a poor thief and not just a chosen noble who knew what was really happening the entire time :/
