Not sure when I'll listen (depends on VPN set up)

I will be tagging all content using the album title from Thursday 6/10 through Sunday 6/14 (US dates). So you can avoid all my album posts those days by filtering #you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

Was very compelled by the slow but mysterious start of this book - awesome female assassin lead who fucking destroys a man and it's gory and gross and brutal. The world building was fine to start out with a very interesting twist of dragon moons. And also the amnesia + major pining by the male lead were nice and angry to start

But I'm now nearing 500 pages in and the last 300 of them have felt like a court of things and other things almost entirely. Brooding male lead who has heart of gold despite an upbringing in a misogynistic warrior camp, city in the north that's completely misunderstood, city is unrealistically peaceful and perfect, a female family member + two male friends one of whom is friendly and one of whom is more stoic. Etc etc etc. and the plot has been so predictable and bland sigh. Gonna finish it and check out the sequel with hopes it picks up again and makes use of its best ideas

The warrior camp thing felt racist to me too also like at best just repetitive and meh and at worst very very badly racist
