There are a lot of things wrong with Liv Brodbeck.

She's too small, for one thing. When she works in the castle kitchens with her mother, she can't carry a sack of flour or roll a keg of ale. Baron Summerset's chirurgeon says that she has brittle bones, so she isn't allowed to wrestle or sword fight with the other children. Even sledding downhill in the winter brings the risk of breaking an arm or a leg if she falls. Everyone says that she ruined her mother's life when she was born. Not when they think Liv is in the room, of course, but she overhears all the same. In the kitchen of a less kind lord, a cook bearing a bastard child would have been more than cause enough for both of them to be out on the street. No, a child like Liv doesn't have much hope. But when she accidentally unleashes a surge of wild magic, she takes her first step on a journey which will lead her from the kitchens of Castle Whitehill, to the cold palaces of the Eld, and beyond, to the graves of gods...

the story starts promising. The MC is smart, life and magic are hard work, there is much to learn and hardship to overcome. But in the last third of the book there is suddenly no improvement. the story skips years but the MC seems to stagnate, she gets older but her world and her capabilities stay the same.

good start, but

This is just awesome! Learning magic and growing up. Not 24/7 action but a steady build up. The story is developing and I am already waiting for the next one. Well written without the standard stereotypes and mistakes so often being made. I really enjoyed it.

This is awesome

Read the whole story on royal road, it is an really thought trough adventure, definitely a recommendation. And there's a lot more to come.

Best slow burn story I have ever read

..the MC has an higher IQ than 80% of all the other Litrpg books out there, but she lost it in the last third. which is a bit sad.
