How did they get away with casting Warrick Davis for literally every role that isn't Harry Potter? That wasn't quite what I imagined when reading the books.

no, fuck no - read literally anything else

>every character is a fucking nimrod just to make the villain's plans work
>half the book is some girl blundering around her rich castle and getting her period
>male protag is utterly void of personality ("he's cute" and "he shoots gud" is as far as it goes)
>interesting clan war story? nope, the story is now about the girl
>interesting mystical uncle? sorry, the story is now about the girl
>the story is now about the girl
>you must want the girl
>why is she so special?
>what do her visions mean!??!?!
>everyone wants her BUT WHY?!!!!

i was so confused how anyone could write such a shitty and obnoxious story, focusing on the most boring shit imaginable when potentially cool shit is happening everywhere, and then i remembered that some fag from /sffg/ recommended it in the first place and everything clicked

>Julie Victoria Jones (born 1963) is a British author of fantasy.

in retrospect, the entire story is clearly written for a female audience, so if you're a woman, you'll probably enjoy it

if you're a man, go cut wood or smoke meth or something
