Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
the way I didn't know what was going on. then I gave up and just tried to read it for the romance.... girl.

so first about me not knowing what the hell was happening. we looooove a spin off STAND ALONE series that doesn't world build! I'm not reading that old ass series! you have to tell me what is happening now. new series new world building. it took until I found another review to figure out the king and the queen each character kept boasting were from different kingdoms.

anyway this romance? awful. neither character had a personality and I could never tell which character I was reading from Kaz would be referring to Jase as the thief which just made me think I was in Jase's POV bc I've only seen one of these two characters thieving.

and how is this going to be a 500 page book one and they get together 20% in?

moral of the story don't trust booktok's fantasy recs and don't read this if you haven't read the first series
