Crown of Shadows by K.M. Shea

3.0

I wanna give this four stars, if for no other reason but the fact that I managed to read it. (I sort of dnf'ed like three books before I finally settled on this one, so the fact that it had a grip on me straight from chapter 1 was like a gift from the heavens) However, I can't do that. The book isn't bad, but- i don't know how to explain it. It might have been the main character's first person voice narration? Sounded like something middle school me would like, but not adult me. At times it was cringey. A feeling I never want to experience while reading a book.
Anyhow, in the book's defense, I wasn't in the best mindset while reading it, so I don't know. The biggest proof is the fact that I did not realize that her name was literally night until page 111 when king solis was introduced and i thought "can you make the names any more obvious?" and then it fucking hit me. Her name is literally night in my native language how absent minded do I have to be to not fucking notice that?
