I’m not loving this book. Like (almost) always, I will see it through but the second person pov is killing me, the names flip flopping is confusing, and the lack of direction makes it hard to know what this is going to be about.
I said I’d read fantasy this year but this is sort of the reason I avoid the genre. You never know what you’re picking up… for 18 hrs.

Honestly, I don’t think this is worth this torture. I said I wouldn’t DNF and I rarely do but I just don’t see any payoff on this one.
