A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.

After an initially interesting set-up, it just gets incredibly boring when the pace becomes GLACIAL in order to stretch out the pining and angst between the Female Lead and the first Male Lead. There had only been a couple of interesting interactions between the FL and the second ML (who was likely endgame) but nothing else and no real plot progression to even keep me engaged. I was too bored to even skim to the end.
