solarmatrixcobra's review against another edition

It was refreshing to find a romantasy that wasn't built atop a mountain of cringe dialogues and overused tropes.

Sadly, while the book is passable albeit really laggy at times (we spend over 50 pages with the character sitting around in a tower infodumping and then describing a map we already have illustrated at the start of the book), it's just okay/meh, and I have other books I'm more excited to read, so I think I'm just gonna cut my losses and not continue. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't really wowed by the creativity, or lack thereof.

I thoroughly enjoyed the world-building in this book. It seemed slow-paced in the middle but picked up at the end, leaving you wanting the next installment. The relationship between the main characters develops quicker than expected given the history between the two.

This is slow for high fantasy with a lot of world building and a lot a lot of court intrigue. It's an interesting premise with a lot of somewhat twisty developments and analysis of character motivations. Definitely find myself rooting for our main characters and some of their friends, but it's not clear always what the good and bad lines are, which is interesting.

Started off slow enough that I was like “ehhh” but then became unputdownable.

i mostly enjoyed this. the worldbuilding was far better than id expect from a fantasy romance and the plot was fairly engaging. however, there was something not quite right about the writing style which i'm not sure how to verbalise.
