This one felt especially slow moving to me, it took easily 300-400 paged to feel like we were really making headway in the plot. Or should I say plots because there were so many going on I could hardly keep track. I don't love how this author writes her female characters and it really saddened me that it felt like Xhex SA trauma was a bit of a plot device to just connect her and JM. Also the awful weeks of torture and grape but then immediately full on banging made me eye roll a bit.

Don't get me started on Blay and Qhuinn...
