dnf @40%

i really wanted to like this, but unfortunately, it missed the mark for me.

i'm almost halfway through and... not a lot has happened for what feels like is supposed to be an epic fantasy.
the characters didn't feel very strong to me except for the fmc's girlfriend, who's bought into all the christian rhetoric, so i found it really weird for the fmc to be paired up with her.

the magic system was confusing to figure out and despite taking place in the 15/16th century, one of the characters uses the phrase "pathological liars" which... i'm pretty sure were not a thing yet.

i was excited for the rep but i would've dnf'd even sooner if it wasn't an arc read, but i'm going to be true to my reading tastes and dnf now.

also i don't know if i'm just missing it bc it's an arc, but considering (view spoiler)[an abortion for a pregnant minor from long-term statutory rape (hide spoiler)] is a large piece of the book and pretty detailed, there should definitely be trigger warnings somewhere in here.
