I really did my best to stick with this book and to give it a fair shot and maybe try to finish as much as I could, but I truly just could not subject myself to this any longer. This book was not bringing my joy and I could not justify the effort I tried to put into this.
The first big problem I had with this book was that the world building...sucked. For a book that had a lot (and I mean A. LOT.) of world building, it was pretty shitty. The world made zero sense and I felt myself having the biggest struggle trying to imagine and picture in my brain what the scenes were supposed to look like.
Another problem I had was the writing. Whyyyy did the author have to make this writing so confusing and clunky? Like was this properly read through and edited? I couldn't help but just cringe and sit here wondering what is actually going on. It was so hard to follow and I had to use every functioning braincell to make 2 and 2 equal 4 in this book.
I guess you could say that that was my main issue: WHY DID EVERYTHING IN HERE NEED TO BE SO CONFUSING? I am not new to complex fantasies. However, the problem I had with this book was that NOTHING was properly explained and there were times where an explanation would be perfect and you'd be left sitting thinking....what? And the things that WERE explained were done so poorly.
There is also supposed to be a romantic aspect to this and even at almost 200 pages....there wasn't even tension between the characters. I mean, not even a little. Their personalities clashed and they would have made no sense together and I didn't even need to get to the juicy romance.
I will confidently say that this book can be skipped. You're not missing anything even mediocre and there are much better and more well thought out fantasy books. You're not missing something spectacular here.

DNF @ 71%
This book was just not...for me. It felt like this book was just constantly running in circles and I was honestly very bored through a majority of this book. It wasn't unique or special and I tried to stick it out as much as I could, but at this point, I don't want to continue wasting my time.
I would also like to say that the writing in this book was so confusing and it wasn't written very well. I struggled so much trying to figure out which POV was whose, as it wasn't labeled and it didn't make it clear when a new chapter started.
The 2 stars are simply for the plot twist in Part 1 and the fact that this book is short and quick to read. I thought that it would get better in parts 2 and 3, but for me, it did not. I was very disappointed by this book. I could not subject myself to reading this anymore.
This would be my first DNF of the year and y'all know I HATE DNFing books and will avoid it at all costs, but I truly did not want to waste my time anymore reading this. ...more
