Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland
DID NOT FINISH: 29%

What an utter disappointment. I got about a third the way in but had to stop, and I almost never dnf a book.

This one is advertised horribly. In reality it’s a very young YA queer romantasy.

It’s  very poorly written. Minimal characterization and what’s there is terrible. 

60% of the “five greatest liars in the world” are queer, which is both statistically nonsensical, and pretty homophobic, most great liars are queer? Really?

I could go on but this book was so trash it just ain’t worth it. 

Sounded great on paper but in reality it sucks hard.
