I bought this book for two reasons: the summary on the Goodreads page, which seemed interesting, and the very reasonable price on Amazon. I didn't pick it up immediately, but being on vacation and having finished another quick read, I turned to FREY.My main issues with the book lie with the main character and the plot. First off, I found it very hard to sympathize with Frey (or Freya), mostly because she shows a lot of tendencies toward being, well, a killing machine with zero compassion. SheI would have given this book four stars, or perhaps even five if it wasn't for the slack-jawed, drooling idiocy that seemed to befall the lead character every time the lead male was around. The story was interesting, but the first chapter almost turned me off completely, and her absolute compliance drove me mad. I understand that she had her magic bound, but she still should have retained some common sense, like occasionally wondering where the hell her watcher was dragging her off to, or why he
Frey is an elf, but she is an outsider. She cant do magic like the others. One day she does something bad and is then on the run with the help of Chevelle and a few others.I liked the story but there were a few plot holes Im not sure of yet. They might be addressed in the next book which I will have to put in my ever-growing TBR pile.Other than that, I wasnt a big fan of Frey always having a short temper. Only because it reminded me a bit like me. But not the point. My mind is still processing

i ended up skimming the last half. generic, cliche, and lacklustre. don't bother with it.
Nothing makes any sense until the last 5% I'm not exaggerating. There's like five bombshells of revelations and then, bam. book over.I kept waiting for it to get good, was so ready, but there was no character development. None. No world building, just lots of variations of fog. Bullshit. Why did it get 2 stars? There were only two editing errors. The language was mostly understandable. I do want to know what happens next... I just don't know if I could handle more nothing for 500 pages; all for
The writing was too amateurish for me to get far, so I can't speak for the story side of things. Just couldn't get immersed.
The plot behind this book is sound enough, but what really turned me off to it is how uninteresting the main character is. She is completely inept at basically everything, which isn't always a bad thing, but she also has no other redeeming qualities to make her likable. In addition, some chapters are entirely devoted to training scenes which do not forward the plot. The trope of hiding information from the protagonist (and therefore the reader) is stretched out way too long without enough hints
