I found this book to be very boring and predictable. Every chance there was for a twist or conflict it was brushed off. I had super high hopes for a lead female character that was both feminine AND badass, instead it was a girl who used used be a badass and now? She just kind of....sits around. A LOT. This, somehow, captures the attention of the prince who isn't impressed by anything or anyone?

Found the book interesting enough to continue on to the sequel, I did like the basic plot and some of the characters, but ultimately could only give it 3 stars because I felt like there should have been a WHOLE other book or series before this. There has to be a whole history here that is never explained.
Spoilers: why are the ruined the only ones with magic? I feel like there should be a lore here that is never discussed.

Could not finish after 189 pages. Absolutely nothing about this book makes sense to me, from plot points to the very dialog. DNF for me.
