I actually made up my mind to drop this series around chapter 11, but decided to speed-read the rest of the chapters in hopes the story would get better. It doesn't. :-(

I was waiting the the FL to divorce her husband. -- Never happens. I thought they were going to lean into being a singer from her former life and using this talent to break-free and earn her own way in life. NOPE!! (In fact it's not brought up again -- performance wise.)

While the plot of this story is a popular trope used in many others this one doesn't use it well. FL is only after saving her life and she never considers the life of the OGFL at all. (Sad!!) Why the poor girl was angry, stand-offish, or basically anything about her life before she took control of the body. I thought they would write in a hidden diary, so we [the readers] and FL could learn about the thoughts that plagued the OGFL when she was basically sold to an invading empire for a contractual marriage for peace.

Honestly, I was looking forward to the divorce and her using her singing talents to fund her new life as she couldn't do in her previous life. Instead we're left with some baby-mama-daddy drama. :-(

With even just 3 chapters this was near darn perfect!! My only gripe is I wanted to see the best friend's repercussions and not just disappearing into the night and having her parents pay her debt. She has to pay her dues too!!
