I was just lost. 

I never dnf but I'm dnfing this one. I wasnt gripped on anything. I even skipped to different chapters to see if something would speak to me and nothing did. It was almost more like a memoir of things that the author realized for himself but wasn't written for a general audience.

This book was a couple hundred pages too long. The last 100-150 pages seemed unnecessary since the main plot ended. 

Are we not going to address Catelyn Stark ANOTHER book?! Come on! This had many uncomfortable plot points. There were sooo many cliffhangers for a majority of the characters and...I feel at a loss right now. Such great writing, character stories, and world building.

This book is good to slowly get into reading... or is meant to be in a guest room's bedside nightstand. Or a waiting room to help pass a few minutes. A collection of quirky short stories to help pass the time away. I don't know, it was odd. I envisioned these were told at an open mic of some sort; that's the kind of vibe it gave. Some were decently good. 

This book started off good and interesting and then it just kind of got long and meh.  Slowwww burn.

This book was fast paced but fun, exciting, adventurous, and entertaining. The main characters and their enemy workplace hidden identity chemistry between them was great. By the end of the book I was left with wanting more!! This is like the YA version of Fourth Wing (without the dragons).
