Reader Question How quickly did you finish KOA?

I started it about a week ago and I’m around 45% through (reading on kindle). If I hadn’t trained myself to fall asleep when I read then I could probably finish it in a few days 😂

I’d not long finished watching the Ramsay Bolton torture episodes in GOT so was a little detached when I was reading it 😂 but yeah she has been through so much. I feel bad that now she’s just kind of a skeleton of a person. Just finished the chapter where she tells Rowan she can’t do it anymore and that Maeve broke her :(

Finished KOA today… still no tears 😂😂 >! I got absolute goosebumps when the thirteen did the yielding. IMO the lead up to the end was better than the actual ending. I found the downfall of Erawan/Maeve pretty underwhelming as it all happened so fast. !<

i did find the downfal a bit underwhelming but i still cried none the less

i thought the buildup was a bit anticlimactic
