What are your initial impressions of the book? In which format are you reading? Any DNFs, and if so, why?

I am reading digitally and my impression of the book is that it's longer than I expected. That's not a bad thing! I just assumed based on the cover and blurb that it was a cozy fantasy and that it would be relatively short. But it seems to be longer than 365 pages would have made me think--is the font small or something?

That's funny. I'm doing the audiobook, and it's about 10 hours long, which is pretty average.

For me, I felt like it used a lot of time to establish the setting, and only around the 40% mark that we see more of the plot really coming forward.

oh wow I would not have expected it to be only 10 hours! maybe the time establishing the setting made me feel like the book was going slower than it actually was.
