It’s okay…
I’m seeing a lot of similarities to ToG, especially with High Fae Prince Daxton, whom smells like pine, snow, and wind…is fae…has some control over the wind…and a prince. Too many Rowan similarities from ToG.There was also a reference to 3 mountains which immediately brought to mind ACoTaR. The “like calls to like” quote which was from Shadow and Bone.

Not enjoying it…
There is too much talking and arguing, and hardly any storyline progression. I’m getting tired of the “banter” & “sing songy” voices. The attempts sarcastic wit come across as immature and obnoxious.
Skylar is supposed to be preparing for the journey and trial, but instead is discussing books, hanging out with family/friends and doing everything but what the book advertises.
