Lack of trusting the reader to interpret subtext is killing tension. Points where there should be psychological escalation just fall flat.

I think the first 5 chapters could easily have been compressed into three chapters. There were just a few man events—the choosing, the Prince, and going to the tower. Everything else in between was a repeat of the dragon calling her an idiot and her making messes and being messy.

I got stuck around 11%, not feeling engaged with the story, but beyond that the plot started picking up and became interesting.

I don’t think the foot tor element is translating well in audiobook format because I feel like it stalls the plot.

I’m barely into the book and I’m not enjoying the protagonist. She’s coming across as vapid and superficial.

I’ve been stuck at 73% for over a month and I can’t bring myself to care about what happens to these characters. The plot is so repetitive and dragging—ride all day, stay at a random house for the night, rinse, repeat. I’m very close to a DNF.
