I had a really difficult time getting into this book. I did end up finishing it, as I have heard so many good things and realized that so many people love this book. I could never connect to the characters and really struggled to understand what was going on.
I love romance and high-fantasy, and so I fully intended to really enjoy this book. The character building was pretty good and the writing itself was not too confusing. I do not typically have a difficult time getting into fantasy world-building. I just really struggled with this book. I did enjoy the character of Zafira, although I did find she made some choices that ended up annoying me. I often felt that if the characters had communicated better, the book may have moved along faster. Additionally, I think I struggled with the fact that most of the book was spent trudging through the desert.
I will admit that I may not have been in the right headspace while reading this book and would be open to reading it again to see if I am able to enjoy it more.
