DNF @ 45%

I cannot believe I am DNFing a series half way through the final book, but here we are. I just can't bring myself to finish it.

This series had some positives but never really did enough to draw me in fully - a lot of themes and plot points were quite generic for the genre and the dialogue and characters were written too dramatic and obnoxious to enjoy it.

I did like some of the political aspects of the plot but by this point in the last book, it felt like nothing had changed but clearly with 50% left to go it was all going to tie up in a very probably predictable way. I just don't care.

The worst thing for me was the audiobook narrators - I know this shouldn't impact a book review, but I really feel like they made the dialogue (which was repetitive and cringey) even worse. It was so melodramatic and overdone, I have literal eye ache from all the eye rolling.
