2.0

Had a good start but got boring around halfway. Didn't really like the anti-marriage message. Katsa was entirely too good at all things, which made her and the plot boring. Also didn't really understand why she was so determined to help Bitterblue. And the climax was entirely anticlimactic. The world-building was a bit confusing, but that might've been because I listened to the audiobook, which wasn't very good (the full-cast version, at least).

I did like Bitterblue as a character, and I thought Katsa and Po's relationship was sweet.

Oh wow I inhaled this book. It’s so great to find characters I love and a world I can lose myself in.

*reread from adolescence*

Definitely holds up as a fun story, although in retrospect much hornier than I remember (neutral)

sapphicsoilscientist's review against another edition

3.0

This particular edition was just really, really long. I listened at 1.4x speed just to keep from long spaces of emptiness, and there were still noticeable breaks in the story where it would have been silent for a while.
