so after being confused with the cruel prince and a number of plot summaries, I found that understanding this book was a lot easier and I was actually able to associate with the story and characters. so that's GREAT
anyway I found that a good part of this book was hanging around the 3.5-3.75 area for me, BUT about 200 pages in IT STARTED GETTING REALLY GOOD OK. the politics and scheming were fun and interesting to read about, bargaining with cardan, ykyk the good stuff.
a bunch of stuff along the lines of "I HATE LOCKEEE KILL HIM OMG", "damn cardans kinda hot", all the way to "WAOH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT IS HAPPENING HQBAFZNAZBGLAHF"
and then the ending happened. screaming. crying. throwing up. WHAT THE HECK THAT WAS THE LAST THIGN I COULD AHVE EVER EXPECTED. so I had to make a new shelf just for the sake of this book, accurately named screaming internally lmao
