I’m glad I’m not the only one frustrated with Kiela’s behavior 57 pages in. I’m going to keep with it as I see y’all are saying this gets better but man. While I love the setting, the descriptions, the coziness of a little town— it’s not capturing me. I was really drawn hard and fast into cozy fantasy by the works of Sangu Mandanna and Diana Wynne Jones, but every book I keep picking up has me more frustrated than endeared usually due to an irritating protagonist whose flaws seem forced rather than organic. I’m likely just picking up the wrong books because I do want a lower stakes fun fantastical read. I will finish this, but if anybody here on this thread can help me guide my compass I’d appreciate it <3

Ok, but soda tracker is actually a good app idea
