I wanted to like this book based on the description and cover. However it was just not for me. The storyline was not cohesive and seemed as if the author took all the fantasy tropes and shoved them into one book. The repetitive information and unnecessary descriptions made it hard for me to connect with the story. The MC was represented as having two contrary personalities: that of a strong willed best selling author and then a meek timid spy that was fleeing a government organization. The storyline that involved another realm/planet was interesting but wanted more world building and descriptions of the characters within it.
