Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho

i did it! i finished this!
i’ve been wanting to read this ever since it was released… i can’t believe i waited this long lol. i must say, i was thrown off by the writing especially in the beginning - it was very lengthy and a little dry. i also couldn’t relate much to the characters although i did like them. it was more like watching a play unfold in front of you without ever really getting into the characters’ heads.
also, for most of the first half of the book, there is nothing much happening! i feel like the author spent way too much time setting up the second half that the first half was a pain to get through. i almost DNF-ed a few times because nothing! was! going! on! it got better after zacharias and prunella teamed up but before that, whew. reading that was a bit of a chore.
i really liked the setting here though and i kept thinking this is kind of like alice in wonderland but set in a magical version of england. I DONT KNOW but the style fits.
