Honestly I hate it. The author keeps using slang and metaphors throughout the book in very large paragraphs. I understand why an informal tone is a good thing for this type book but I think it's overused and really puts me off. I dislike that she used the word "Judo-Christian" about negative social views about sex, which does not accurately depict Jewish values in any sense of that word. I'm trying to finish it.

I hate it. Between the pages long commentary from the main character to the pages long descriptions of magic/creatures to the very very boring romantic lead, Novik has managed to make monster magic school boring. I listened to the audiobook of the first one awhile back and thought "it couldn't have been that bad right?" Reader, it was that bad.
