Nope. I would have given up if a friend hadn’t recommended this to me for spice and fantasy. The spice is awful. Misogyny, cruelty, patriarchy and traumatising violence.
World building was meh. The book is far too longer for the amount of plot and character interactions. The first person narrative isn’t working for me either. And there is also the lazy use of perceived ugliness/beauty as a measure of villain.
Sail and Digby were part of the brief interlude that I enjoyed.
