First of all, I'm stunned that this isn't considered YA. To market it as anything else is false advertising, in my opinion. Reader beware.
Second of all, the MC is really freaking dumb.
This isn't a genre I read a lot in, but this year I also read Serpent & Dove... which is marketed as YA and has waaaaay better worldbuilding and character-building. I would definitively say that this isn't worth the hype, but I'm glad if it's getting people reading I suppose?
