    🤨

    The story/world building is really really nice. But the superfluous writing style, overuse of adjectives and just word/phrase repetition made it really hard to read at points. Even migrated to the audiobook to see if it would help but nah. I really didn’t like the FMC. Strong and stubborn do not equal the same thing. I feel like the author tried to make her be strong but she just came across as stubborn, prideful and arrogant. Like you can be a badass without being a btch, who happily complains about her problems, watches them hurt the people she ā€˜cares’ about but does nothing to fix them. Just keeps the ā€˜it’s not you it’s me’ bullsht pity party in full swing. There’s only so much of a nothing sandwich one can take šŸ•Šļø Like the plot/story itself is really interesting but the prose, diegesis and characterisation just makes it’s really hard to get through.
