The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

Boring, the setup was confusing and the footnotes were weird. Also the writing felt oddly clumsy

Loved it, again! But I feel like once again the ending was very rushed. The majority of the book was slow paced and not too much really exciting happened, and then we get to the last 10% and Everything Happens At Once!!
