3.0

At first, I had a blast but as the story continued, the main character lacked agency. Something happens, she reacts, (is too honest and gets put to trial with no real consequences), time passes. This happened multiple times and really annoyed me. I put this book down for multiple weeks at a time because it bored me so much.

Would round down to 4⭐

Reread of a favorite! Don't really have any commentary to provide, especially since I'm biased from the rest of the series.
