They took too long to get to various points. Like, we wasted 10 chaps on marital issues and repetitively having the MC say tht she's never been like other children. Her mom SUCKS, too. I don't expect her to fall in love w the Duke, but DAMN is she indecisive. Smh. Dropped.
Deserves a higher rating, I've never read anything like it and I'm so happy with the lack of cliches in it and the fantasy world building. I have lots of interest in the characters, they have depth and everyone's pretty realistically morally grey
