Listened to it on audiobook. Didn’t really care about it until hour 10 of 21. Hated it and wanted to DNF but I had made it that far. This was a lot of nothing happening. We get it, girl, you are an emotional less bitch who is super horny around the king who is hopelessly in love with you. Lots of language and discussion that didn’t need to happen and just took up space like the author wasn’t allowed to say these words growing up and now has to find a way to weave them into every sentence. It was annoying and I probably won’t read the second one because this was a giant waste of my time. I actively disliked it.
