Didn't feel like finishing as there was nothing tying me to the story. Every element of the book felt somewhat hollow, the characters, the plot, the historical elements, nothing really made me want to keep reading, especially since I was more than halfway into this magic book which had very little magic by that point. The style makes it very easy to read, but I didn't want to read just for reading's sake. The herbalism was an interesting aspect, but it wasn't enough to fully invest me.
