Faebound

Dnf at 25% complete. I suppose it could get better, but somehow we already have the incredibly tired tropes of

1. Hero exiled after traffic mistake
2. Weak younger sibling who has to grow up in a hurry
3. Sturdy, dependable ex soldier who is unfazed by shrewish heroine, and falls in love
4. The inn is crowded and has only 1 bed
5. A wise animal appears and leads the hunter to wisdom

I'm honestly impressed at the density of cliche in so short a span of pages. The characters felt like they were being put through the paces of a just so story. They had no life of their own.
