I rarely have trouble getting through books but god this one dragged itself on. It didn’t get remotely interesting to me until chapter 52. The only reason I kept with it is that it’s currently the only audiobook I had on loan, but I do regret listening to the audiobook as there’s no way to skim past the boring parts. 
Also, the Ravencourt & butler parts are just purely the author being very fatphobic and ableist as well.
