I had to know: Will this book change my life? Will I become a SJM rabid fan girl? Will I rides to the ends of the Earth for these books?
It did not, I am not, and I most certainly will not. I can now proceed with my existence in peace 😂 Well, that and the appearance of two of my least favorite plot points/tropes of ALL TIME appearing in the next few books. And that I hate all of the characters.

I am going to be honest, though, I did not have a Shai-Hulud guest appearance on my bingo board.
