What. A. Let. Down.
The beginning was promising. Somewhat. Despite the problems with French-English translation, I was hopeful!
I don’t think I’ve ever read such a slow-paced book in my life. I also don’t dole out one star ratings to books very often. This was truly, much to my dismay, deserving of it. It goes without saying that I will not be finishing the series. Not how I wanted to end my 2021 reading journey. UGH

pretty disappointed in this, only because I thought I would like it (I didn't know anything going into this but heard good reviews) and I definitely did not. the last 150 pages (of my 494 edition) was interesting but I hated the beginning part and I just hated all the characters and the world argh. also I don't know if the original french used fancy language but the translation used heaps of higher calibre words, in that I actually googled the definition of a word... and I've never done that before. probably won't continue with the series for a long time.
