Status Updates From Goddess crown

This book has been chock-full of cliches and stereotypes of fantasy adventure books. Girl lives in Woods. Girl is really good at Forest and Bow. Girl's Immediate Family Unit Is Killed. Girl is Actually a Princess. Girl is 16. Girl likes Pants. Girl Needs to Navigate Political Intrigue To Survive and Claim The Throne. Etc Etc. I'm seeing these story beats from miles away. The only saving grace is the culture depicted.

He stared down at her. His eyes darted down to her lips than rose back up to meet her gaze. "That I'm yours."

HELL YEAH NAHIR

"No! When he's ready to be an adult, he can come and tell me what demon jumped into his body and making him act as a fool. I have other problems to solve."

I mean this with my full chest, If Ye-Ye fucking dies this book gets 1 star

How strange, she thought, that the man who gave you this had you executed. Yet he preserved your memory like a flower pressed under glass.

Now I didn't see that coming at all

Sobs shook her. After all their love and care and sacrifice, there was nothing she could do to protect the people she cared about most in the world. There would be no funeral pyre, no blessing to ease their way to the Goddess.

Trust a book that throws you immediately into the action and kills off everyone you meet. Kalothia is in for a ride

Did not expect Clarit to die so soon
