  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I finished it, but it gave me the ick at times with the age gap and how sexually thirteen year old Ailenor was portrayed.

The voice actor grated on me with their i n c r e d I b l y  s l o w  narration and a "french" accent that made me grimace.

Definitely won't be reading on.

Different strokes for different folks though. As much as I'm usually a fan of medieval romance and political intrigue this didn't do it for me.
