I can’t remember the last time I came across a book I wanted to like so much but hated. I found the characters insufferable and inconsistent. Especially the FMC- her self loathing is toxic. The world building was poor- even listening to this as an audiobook I could not visualise the trials, the moon palace, the kingdom or the characters. The pacing was bad- in between the trials save some conversations and the odd trip out nothing really fills the time. The twist (which i was holding out for)… isn’t a twist. No spoilers but if you’re a fan of the genre you can make an educated guess what’s going to happen. Annoyingly I have the second book on audible and being someone who doesn’t DNF I’m gonna have to drag myself through it.
