God, how I hate humor and Owen and the prose and the romance and Una and every other element of this book in precisely that order.
What’s the purpose of this? What is there to like? Will the shit humor ever cease? What possesses millennials to write like this? They cannot genuinely believe it to be witty and clever. I beg you, and I do earnestly plead, tell me this not serious attempt at humor.

Why is Una so weirdly rape-y? It feels like this book has just taken the traditional Romantasy dynamic of tiny woman/large rape-y man dynamic and genderbent it. Breaking news, but it is still not a good dynamic when we genderbend it, guys! Especially when Owen is very heavily othered (and maybe a PoC/potentially Romani inspired).
Not to mention their “love” is just not believable thus far.

Guys, I stopped reading Hobb to read this shit. I don’t want to finish this stupid book.
I miss Robin Hobb.

Thus far, this reads like a bland fantasy book for people that don’t really like fantasy. The prose, I think, is attempting to be funny but it’s despicably unfunny. And when the prose isn’t trying to be funny in an obnoxious way that playacts at real wit, it’s trying to be waxing poetic about love and war and politics, but it fails to say anything in such a way I’ve not heard said better elsewhere.

This won both the Hugo for Best Novel and the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Everyone pray for me, I heard it was Romantasy but I’m diving in anyway. Was the win deserved? Are these awards just stupid popularity contests?
I’m a measly 2% in and the prose is already kinda pissing me off. Am I about to subject myself to yet another shitty Romantasy that everyone else loves for some reason?
