Good but self-indulgent

Liked the premise and enjoyed the worldbuilding but this could have been 10 hours shorter and not lost any plot. The author indulges in too much character self reflection that turns some passages into a rambling chore. We don't need full paragraphs of internal dialogue every time the slightest thing happens to the main character and it ends up feeling a bit like the author is telling rather than showing us what the characters feel

Somewhat muddled plot with a very dumb protagonist

This series had an interesting premise and was narrated well, and I enjoyed the first couple of books. This one felt a bit less sure of where the story was going, but my biggest gripe, growing through all 3 books, is how stupid the protagonist is. She's constantly surprised that people lie to her, takes forever to put 2 and 2 together so she's always the last one to understand what's going on, and is generally infuriating naive and unwilling to use her powers. for crying out loud, she goes to track down a wizard who's mind-controlling her friend, and decides to take said friend with her with no qualms about being backstabbed or losing the element of surprise. it got steadily more annoying until I was relieved to get to the end of this book.

I loved the writing and the narration. I tried this book because I greatly enjoyed Anne Leckie's Raven Tower book, and I wasn't disappointed. the setting is well-imagined and this is another take on a non-human protagonist that is extremely interesting. Highly recommend this audiobook.

I really wanted to enjoy this book because the plot is interesting, even compelling at times. But the author keeps getting in his own way by being overly verbose. so many paragraphs could be half as long and contain the same information, the narration feels like it's holding my hand through everything. Just state something and let me understand what it means instead of having a full minute of internal dialogue dissecting what I've already figured out!
