The decisions made by the main characters were infuriatingly illogical and childish more often than not.
The trigger warnings are also a must - this book has immensely graphic details of rape, violence, and torture in it. This normally wouldn’t deter me from reading a book, but I found it to be too much for me.
Overall, the world building, fantasy, and lore I enjoyed.
