I was reading it for like two months and at some point it started to really tire me out, but that's because these past two months weren't good for reading (for many reasons). I like the world building, I like politics, but I still dislike the romance very much. Also because Alina is created to be very human main character, she falls flat a lot of times. You can't really point out her personality, because it's not strong enough. I understand a lot of it is because of the plot and that's fine, but some of her reactions feels very out of place or just not focused on enough.
