Overall, was not an enjoyable read and needed heavy editing. I can’t believe this is being stretched out into a duology.
•Poor character development
•Love triangle that isn’t fleshed out
•main character is unlikeable
•repetitive prose—there were several times where the prose would quote earlier pieces of dialogue
•Main character is described as clever multiple times but is actually kind of an idiot (way to trusting, not good at hiding her secrets, shocked every time a bad guy does a bad thing)
•Main character’s internal thoughts are annoying and highlight that she really isn’t clever. I don’t need a reminder every single chapter that she thinks she is selfish.
•This is a pet peeve of mine so it may not bother others, but the epigraphs and quotes from this world’s texts didn’t bring anything to the story or themes.
