Very good. While trying to read the names and such on my own, the pronunciation was very difficult but audiobooks made that part so much easier. This book while it gives fiction/fantasy vibes, there are actual historical people and places at play. I thoughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to the sequel. I highly recommend with the help of audiobooks. I still recommend traditional reading of the book but truly the pronunciations are very difficult and I would recommend substituting character names to something easy in your mind for better understanding and flow.

I got this on a whim while i was in barnes and noble and i’m not sure why, but i thought it would be a fantasy lol while learning about our main character and her life was really interesting, i struggled with the pacing and DEFINITELY struggled with the pronunciation of almost all the names. The only reason i was able to finish this was the audiobook and the narrator did an excellent job so extra kudos to her.
