I officially dnf'ed at 50%

I really wanted to like this book. I the premise was amazing. However, everything just seemed shallow. The world, the characters, the stakes. This story needed time to build but it just seemed to sacrifice a lot of the necessary times with the characters. The main character toed the line of being a Mary Sue to me.

I was done at the sword fighting practice. In this scene she easily overpowers the King and then thinks to tuck a spare knife in her shoe when she previously talks about such a normal human life she lived?

Sad, but maybe I'll try to read it again later.
