uhh maybe 2.5....... but that feels generous

i genuinely have no idea WTF happened in this book. i feel like the middle was just a bunch of random stuff. maybe listening to it was to my detriment, but i also don't really care about the characters. i probably won't continue the series unless i see an overwhelmingly positive response from the next book
 
ending-

sooo.......... old calla is really an old princess reincarnated and then jumped to otta (otta is still alive??????????????????????? idk) and new calla is just a poor girl who has now taken the throne??? i think. anton is just anton.
