Yeva is like the dragon-killer version of when a character is meant to be a brilliant criminal but the author isn’t clever enough to pull it off so it just feels like the world’s standards for a mastermind are comedically low. or when a character is supposed to be a great poet but the author isn’t, so it feels like the world’s poet laureate is fantasy rupi kaur.

also I went into this expecting a nonbinary protagonist and have been sorely betrayed on that front. I would say ‘unless Yeva figures out some stuff in the book’ but there just isn’t room for such an arc to mean anything. We’re 1/4 through already and she’s still just an empty slate and I don’t think a nonbinary gender journey would be satisfying. like at all.

this book is so obsessed with doing worldbuilding by association and character by tropes that I could probably write the outline for it myself. I’m boreddddddddddd.
