Woof

Thanks, I hated it. I feel like y'all don't come to me for well thought out reviews, y'all come to me because you got lost on the way to find better, smarter reviews. Certainly other people have put into words clear, concise criticisms; I'm just here to complain, baby! My thoughts, in no particular order: 1.. After reading some reviews from Scottish folks, it seems like the author didn't learn Rebecca Yarros' lesson regarding Scottish languages. And girl, your book takes place IN Scotland!! 2. Roscilla really said "I am no man" at the end like she could ever come close to my girl Eowyn. Woof. Also I love a reference ok, but when it's like...subtle. You know, a wink and a nod. 3.Hey, did you guys know Roscilla is, like, really hot? No, but did you get how hot she is? But really, did you understand that she was literally so hot? Ava, PLEASE, we get it. The repetition (on this and other certain phrases my mind is too liquified to remember) was seriously doing my head in. 4. I also feel like the author was going for some kind of Daenerys/Khal Drogo kinda thing with Roscilla & Macbeth but like, more messed up. (I'm talking about their tv relationship, their book relationship was pretty good.) 5. What was the dragon about??? Seriously, someone tell me or I'll cry. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff but that's about 8 hours of my life I can't get back so thanks for the headache I guess.
