I did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. It has all the markers of being something that should interest me, but I strongly considered DNF at around 50%. I powered through bc I wanted to know if it got any better.

My complaints:
1. Everything being was given a title in the book's language, and all the names being “elvish” with the same 3 letters starting their names was VERY confusing. I had a very hard time keeping track of who was who, and what their motives were.
2. SO POLITICAL oh my god what a draaaaaaaaag

I wanted more action, maybe more time with the main character actually relating to someone, talking to someone they liked, etc.

But hey, not every book is for me.
