gotta admit, I'm on the struggle bus w/ this book already. the writing style is coming off as what I call try-hard purple prose, when it feels like the author is trying to force it to be more lyrical than it actually is, & you stop being able to understand what it's even trying to convey to you. also not a fan of the "instant irresistible attraction w/ the LI that makes me emotionally cheat on my current SO" trope :/

this writing may drive me crazy; if it was just the prose being weirdly phrased, that'd be one thing. I could even deal w/ the occasional incomprehensible bits. But the inconsistencies & the missing pieces of crucial connective tissue are killing me. She drops her dagger, then it's suddenly in her hand again, w/ no mention of how it got there. It was nighttime, but now it's twilight w/ nothing described in between
