I rate this book a 3 ⭐️ tbh kind of predictable, it took me entirely too long to finish because I really wanted to DNF it. If you like ALOT of the story being around character stories instead of actionable plot I think you’ll love this book. I just feel like it was entirely too long for the ending I got. But also was not mad at the ending which is why I rated it a 3.

I was having a hard time getting into this book anyway but I had to DNF at 28% after the unnecessary raping and pillaging “joke.”

This was fine. I feel like if I had nothing else to read, it would have been interesting, but it just felt like a lesser version of books I have already read or should be reading instead.

I mostly enjoyed this! The characters were all interesting but I do wish the confrontations were a bit more grand and the end wrapped up rather quickly and conveniently. But would absolutely be interested in a tv show adaptation.
