Before I buy it!

I keep seeing this book and it really caught my attention! But I’m not sure if it would be worth it or not to read it.

So I need recommendations from those who have read it already, no spoilers please!

For someone who is tired of “strong” FMC, toxicity and loves fantasy, would you recommend this?
