This book was OK. It had some of Kingfisher's usual charm, but not enough to counteract all of the depressing dreariness of the situation. And since we have to suffer through this situation along with the heroine for about 95% of the book, I almost ended up DNFing the whole thing, even after going into it fully aware of the heavy topics this book would explore.Â

The language was too young, the topic too mature for the language and somehow the plot was too simple. It felt like a long novella. A lot of repetition instead of developing the worldbuilding. The antagonist was much too flat. But at least the plot made sense. The book really could have benefitted from a few extra chapters to allow for depth.
