I feel always squichy when I review something I DNF but I didnt stop reading cause it was bad, I stop reading cause I wasnt into it.
Here the thing, I am not a huge world building fantasy fan. I am more into a light fantasy touch kind of person so this book was a LOT for me. I love the MC so I was forcing myself but I wasnt enjoying it. Anyway, I have seen a lot of people DNF it and I think it's because a lot of people come to fantasy by YA and this isnt YA. This is complicated fantasy with a slow plot and yes it goes everywhere and nobody is holding your hand and explaining the politics with a powerpoint montage but that doesnt make it a bad book.
For me the issue is that I didnt care about any of it. But I am sure this will please people who loves more heavy fantasy stories.
I think this book should be marketed more obviously for adult reader.
