cgreaderbee's review against another edition
I tried both the audiobook & the ebook. The world building seemed cool and interesting in a promising way, but I just didn’t feel any attachment to the characters to want to keep going. I read another review that said it was a slow start but worth it in the end, but, yeah. Not for me, I guess!

I'm dnfing this at 25%. The writing is absolutely stunning and I will be definitely picking up more of this author. However I cannot stand these elements in any books: weak willed characters who are miscommunicating for the sake of plot movement. I hope that is not what awaits me in the next book of hers I pick up.
