Main plot was dull and unengaging. Romance was also dull as well as really toxic and gross. 17 year old mentee who has basically been kidnapped by hundreds of years old emotionally abusive, cold wizard mentor who basically kidnapped her. And you're telling me they're falling in love?? No, ew! Also, he's boring.

The book really grabbed me at first, but wow was the second half really a slog. The pacing was so weird. Overall quite slow, but some parts were really fast...just an odd match.

I was REALLLLLLLY tired of hearing how Agnieszka didn't like fancy dresses and how she much preferred "simple homespun cloth" like every third page.

I adored this! It's written absolutely beautifully with gorgeous imagery, and the ending is maybe my favourite I've read this year. I'd read more by Naomi Novik in a heartbeat
