Very slow, writing style is not my type. Everything reads very pretentious - I skimmed at 25%, 50, 75% and 85% and still didn't find anything of interest (to me)
He talks to lobsters though that seems cool but not worth wading through 500 pages for 

I got 14% of the way in.
I hate everyone, I cannot sympathize with any of them. Usually I'd just power through or skim til it got interesting BUT the 4 year old daughter ends up in the hospital

with her kidneys failing and she's on all sorts of machines and won't wake up, they need to start dialysis or she'll die.

 
I don't do books where kids are gravely hurt or die, and i can no longer do medical trauma books.
Also in the 50 pages I read there are SO many content warnings to be added. 
This one is not for me.
Not continuing and possibly not picking up any others from this author either. 

DNF.
I made it 42% of the way but it was so incredibly boring

even with the prince being poisoned and the lady's friends all getting killed

that I'm moving on to something that will hold my interest for more than 4 skimmed pages.
I usually read fantasy & I love magic in books, but this one was not my jam.
