In itself the story is not bad but I wouldn’t reread it. It’s not even that long but I had a hard time being captivated by it. Theres magic, and the main character, Arnell, had a pretty strong personality and is driven by revenge… but other things come in the mix, such as love, that she doesn’t allow herself to fill at first because she doesn’t feel worthy though she secretly craves it (and craves to be happy). I’ll admit the opening is pretty strong with a suicide scene, but I just don’t know why it was difficult to read. The plot does a lot of back and forth, I feel like a lot of characters and setups are introduced when it could’ve been less and clearer. Some plot points also didn’t feel prepared, like the god and the human’s love story, or the sudden appearance of Arnell’s family at the very end. In all case it’s a fine story and it’s not that bad, but things could’ve been better
