I wasn't into the new adult story at first, especially since the whole plot gets driven forward by the FMC's "bad choices", but I finally got into it when she sets off to find the other 4 crows.
Kind of wish this had a different title that didn't try to ride the romantasy hype train.

It really saddens me as there feels like there’s great ideas for world building, but with a weak plot, unnecessary characters, and unnecessary filler, this book ultimately was a no go for me.

HoBW in my opinion is quite slow, and some pieces of the plot were dragged out more than they needed to be. But having read the other books in the series already, I can tell you that the series pays off. The story is super entertaining, and I read books 1-3 all in less than five days total! I definitely recommend.
Minor: Sexual content

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I was going to connect with Fallon. I saw a few other reviews that mentioned she annoyed them.
At the start of the book Fallon is 10 or 12 and then she's 22...yet still acted like she did at the younger age. This did bother me at first...I mean how is she 22?! But after a while it made more sense. Although Fallon did live being treated as "other" by most of the people she passed...she was still very sheltered and protected.
The journey Fallon goes on is really her first experience in the world without someone familiar with her. She grows a lot on this journey and I look forward to seeing what happens in the books to come.
