I just couldn't bring myself to care about the plot, Villains motive or the MC. The only character I cared about was the Horse and he didn't even "talk" like a Ranger horse.
Doing a quick skim ahead, my guesses are correct on any "plot twists", and that's not saying much.
I don't understand perspective hopping before we can form any emotional attachment to the true MC, it just makes it overwhelming and tedious.
150 pages of getting herself into one dodgy situation after another (I counted 4?) and basically Deus Ex'ing out of each one got stale super fast.
MC's need supporting characters /on their side/, with them on their journey, before this far into the book. Conversations are so, so important to plot, character insights, etc and when she's basically talking to herself for 100+ pages. . . At 25% she /still/ doesn't have a verbal companion. Ouch.
Tl;dr good concept, weak execution
