Okay...

I really liked the world that The Orc and the Innkeeper created but I wasn't in love with the two main characters themselves 🫤

While the start of the book was entertaining, I slowly lost interest with the pacing and lack of character development.

I even paused this for a couple of week because I didn't want to DNF it 🥲

Personally, I didn't feel like the relationship between Mariah and Thorak was organic enough, especially since he was her high school bully and did leave her traumatised.
