Why is this so far just the plot of those AI show ads on tiktok

I’m not sure if it’s just a me problem but so far this book is super boring. I really wanted to love it.

Ugh I hate Bram and his need to marry two sisters.

Stupid alchemist and his orange smoke

I hate evil men who pretend to be the savior!!

Change, she was beginning to discover, grew like a seed. Its roots began to sprout beneath the surface long before the leaves burst through the soil. But how would she ever blossom if she had to continually uproot herself?

“That power of yours goes both ways, though. Perhaps it’s not a matter of asking, ‘What if I hurt someone?’ Perhaps it’s about asking, ‘What if I could help someone?’ ”

“Where I come from, people wielded knowledge like an advantage. You had to figure it all out on your own or appear weak. I’m, ah, I’m not used to someone being kind enough to explain things to me when I don’t know them.”

“She didn’t want to be the Thornwitch anymore, and so she wouldn’t be.”

I love all the folklore creatures teaming up!!

“I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of her being here, but I did know that a Jenny always leads with her teeth. I opened my mouth wide and gave her my best smile.”

“Two sides of a shiny coin used to purchase terrible things.”

Finally a plot twist I didn’t see coming

“I’m not one of your mindless adoring worshippers,” I say, insistent. Before he gets any wild ideas. “Heart, I know,” he answers with a laugh and reaches for my chin to angle his gaze back on mine. “But I’m starting to think I may be one of yours.”

“We’ve met before.” I raise the arrow higher. “And you’re going to tell me why.”

“It isn’t hard to see why an audience of thousands would fall in love with him from their velvet seats.”

“Lying is a part of living. The truth is too often vile, wouldn’t you say?”

A nomadic mercenary who inherits a magical inn from her old mentor…count me in!!!

Now it’s giving major Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor vibes which I love!!

So far this is reminding me a lot of carnival and once upon a broken heart. I just hope it doesn’t throw in random plot twists for shock value and nothing else.

I’m so excited for another cozy low stakes fantasy!! I thought I was going to have to wait until July for a new book. Also this book already has me craving hot chocolate and pancakes lol.
