I could not get past the narrator used in this audiobook. The narration was really poorly done and in general the book started out slowly. The concept was interesting but I ended up giving up on it

This book was definitely an experience, still trying to decide if it was a pleasant one.

The beginning was pure torture to get thru, it was too many things at once and idk what was going on. Later it got better in the middle, when I started to understand the world building I could enjoy it more.

Really liked the court intrigues and trying to outsmart people who want you dead. And basically everyone wanted her dead. There was too much modern language in fantasy setting. Like I get it, she's from "real world", but it felt forced, like older people trying to write in slang.

Honestly writing “Seriously, you will be powerful A.F.” or “May I speak in tongues at nature’s treasury?” during romantic scene should be banned. Many times I cringed so hard I needed to close the book and take a breather, cus my eyes were bleeding.

The povs other the main character were boring, plain and unnecessary, would be better if it was single pov. The ending was predictable, but nice.
