I really enjoyed this especially at first! I felt like it was a bit slow with the some info dump but enough interesting things to keep me guessing. Full disclosure that I did not read the first half but rather listened to the Graphic Audio version and wanted to know the rest so badly I bought the book.
Will we ever get fantasy creatures that can’t smell arousal lol and then towards the end it just felt like she was analyzing the same things ad nauseam.
It was also really predictable. As soon as Hawke is introduced to the guard, I knew who he was. And the frustrating part is seeing how dumb Poppy is since it takes her forever to get to her conclusion. Also the whole fucking in the snow thing was an interesting choice. Also weird thing to not talk about getting married?
I still really liked the world building and generally like Poppy even though she got really whiny by the end. Def planning on reading the next.

I am still laughing about the names chosen for some of the people and places, though.
