Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam
Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
I feel really bad for this one because I was kindly gifted the e-arc for a review.
*minor spoilers ahead*
But I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the book once I set it down. It felt like such a drag to get through. In the first 30% there’s the inciting incident (which we don’t get a bunch of detail about) and then Anji is on the run…only to stop in a small town, get wasted and get captured by the Hawk.
I’m sorry but if she had planned to kill the king and worked her way to that point without any suspicion, it felt wrong for her to have been captured so easily.
Additionally she talks big talk against the Hawk when we have little to no background on how she could possibly back up her claims of being able to beat the Hawk if given the chance…
It just felt unbelievable and I was bored of their constant bickering and the slow “travel.”
In the end, I just didn’t feel attached to either of them to continue on.
