The societal flaws the author confronts with clever telling of the lead's experiences is so on point. I did have to put the book down from time to time just to process the cluster-fck of crap-sht history of human power grabs. Because you know, set in a fictional world with all sorts of fascinating creatures, the author didn't miss a beat and the truth of all that she brought to light  required some proper grieving.

The examinations of colonialism,  villianisation of witches, and blatantly tolerated sexism, massively outplays the handful of non-plot beats that felt repetitive. That being said, the repetition may bring a sense of who our lead character is in the deepest corners of her heart. 

Bang on. Very much recommend.

I would not say that this is a good book, but it's one of those books that I will eat up every time. The plot is mid at best, but interesting enough that I'll keep reading, and I do enjoy the spicy scenes. Patiently awaiting the 3rd books release..

If anything they seem worse together
The plot barely progresses and is confusing at that.
