Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
I saw SJM based Aelin off her Birthright trip and immediately stopped. So disappointing.

That ended so abruptly!
The ending felt like the ending to a buddy cop movie lolll.
I liked this one, though, and I’ll definitely read the second of the series because apparently it’s the *second* book that has the asexual rep I was looking for 🤦🏻 This book flew by.
And thank god the dog came back to life because wtfffff

This one would’ve greatly benefited from an editor. I did get the self-published version of this, and the bad formatting was distracting. But I found there were a lot of contradictions, and I disagree with the reasoning behind “knowledge is carnage,” and I don’t really think the book knew the arguments it was making at the time. It wasn’t good enough for me to want to pick up the second book in the series.
