Ein Schloss aus Silber und Scherben

DNF ~35%
This book presents itself like something full of social critique while it was just horrible.
We are promised a young woman outside of slim beauty standards who (while somewhat unsure of her own body because of its shape) is smart, witty and capable to successfully run a country at a 10 year long war. We get a deeply insecure, timid and self-loathing grey mouse with no sign of outsmarting the society she's thrust in. Throughout the parts that I read it fell flat on all promises. There is a trigger warning about the fat phobia and body shaming but I went into it expecting uplifting defiance at some point. Instead it pulled me down with it.
The supposed love interest (enemy to lovers? Responsible for her physical disability?) is a horrible and demeaning person and would get domestic violence warnings as another trigger.
Maybe, just really really maybe, the book would have started to become what it promised but it was overly shaming that I couldn't deal with it.
I will give it the point that it read fairly smoothly simply from a language view.
