So this was fairly terrible I'm afraid. The writing was not good. But I am kind of intrigued to see where it goes. I found this FMC SO annoying. I kind of get the Stockholm Syndrome but I rolled my eyes so very much. So I'm kind of interested in seeing if it's just poor plotting and pacing - maybe there is going to be a decent character arc starting in the next book that gives this MC some context for the patheticness she exhibits in this book. I can't cope with the helpless heroine, it's not my bag.

I think I will give the second one a go - let's give Raven a chance to save this FMC for me! I'd like to meet King Rot at least, and if it's as poor as this one, it will have only taken a few days to read.
