The author has an annoying habit of writing poetic sounding lines that don’t actually make sense in the context of the story, e.g.:
“It was the first time I heard him laugh. I was beginning to wonder if he knew how.” But she’d known him for less than a day and only in the context of an assault situation and official kindom business. Why would he have laughed around her?

Ääähhh. Almost too bad to suffer. The characters are nothing and the writing is lazy. Even though the author keeps reminding us what the stakes are for the main character, they still somehow manage to not create any sense of urgency or pressure. And the relationship between the best friends is glossed over so thoroughly that I have to wonder why they even bothered to mention they are friends.
