The writing style definitely put me off at the beginning, but I've gotten past that and am enjoying it. This will be a 3 star read. OK, but not compelling. And not at all challenging or enlightening.
So, so. 3 stars. Worth reading, but not in any hurry to read another by her. OTOH, maybe, if there's a sale on or some such.

Next up, A Call to Arms and A Call to Vengence, by David Weber, et al. I've got mixed feelings about these, having read the first several years ago. And it's clear that Weber is spending way more time on political intrigue and far less time on the actual story than I would prefer. But we'll see. Most Weber books manage to be worth reading even when they are way too heavy on the politics and the military minutia.
