*thank you netgalley and publisher for an arc*

i tried, i really did. i tried for a month. and only could do 20%. i tried to read in other lands by this same author and quit that book for the same reasons as this one.

the way this author writes is bizarre. she’ll go on side tangents that have nothing to do with the story or scene and feel like stream of consciousness but somehow with less cohesion.

the pacing of this book also was wack and made no sense. you never knew what was happening or where in the story you were. everyone being called by a trope name and saying it over and over was annoying. i get the character was in a fantasy book, but i read fantasy and none are written like that. 

and lastly, it wasn’t funny. it was grating. everyone i knew that was reading early copies kept saying how hilarious this book was and the only thing i’m laughing about is how this book got published.

anyways, i think i’ve given up on this author. read at your own will.
