The writing was bizarre, the name of the protagonist must have been said every 3 words.

I also can't say I liked the reveal about the origin of the Wood Queen and the reason the wood is attacking. I think the Staryk were handled with more nuance in Spinning Silver.
However, I would still strongly recommend this novel.
