UGH, If this was an audiobook, I would have listened to it at 1.5 speed. I know that is typical of second books in a series, but it seemed to plod along. I can't find it in my heart to route for Orlaith (FMC) anymore.

Many characters seemed to have personalities that took significant shifts in this installment. I bought the first 3 books at once on impulse, so I will slog on, but - really - Orlaith's naivety and self-hatred are becoming tiresome. It'd be nice to see some growth.
