Made it to 100ish pages before dnfing. ☹️ I’m trying to find winning fantasy series, and this had a lot of potential. I like court/politic intrigue. But I had to admit to myself it wasn’t working. I really need characters I’m invested in, and I just didn’t care about Ren. Initially I did - the opening prologue is great. But after that… she fell flat. I wasn’t even sure what the goal of her con was - does she just want money? How long would she pretend to be this person? I should know the answers to those questions.

I found Leato, Grey, and Vargo much more interesting. But they aren’t the MC.
