Well...this is awkward. Everyone I know who has read this loves it...like LOVES it and I feel like I'm missing somsthing or...got the wrong book? I was bored the whe damn time! Its like another Cruel Prince situation where I have no idea ehat I'm missing while 99% of readers would have themselves buried with this book.

I just...meh about the whole cast (though props for the diversity), the magic, the world. I just...dont get what is so amazing about the book? It's not bad by any means. Just immensely slow and boring and I can read books like that if theres interesting politics and/or cast but I can't find any appeal! This is frustrating
