Very entertaining and engaging, an intriguing world with interesting characters. Writing style is simple and easy to understand, Maas has a love of overusing certain words like "tang" so if that bothers you you probably won't enjoy this.

Unfortunately we had an entire chapter of clumsy infodumping and the villain was too cartoony to take seriously, so I took a star off for that. Very heteronormative society as well, with characters making assumptions and statements that everyone is straight.

Hype train went right by me. I do love me a slow burn romance, and the world was interesting. Yet, I didn't connect with MC and felt it leaned hard into "not like other girls" territory. And, I f lt many decisions were more for plot progression than character trait. Im sure there's more character growth in later books, but felt pretty shallow for a first book
