I can see the thread of appeal in the book but the story was contrived and kind of silly with how specific the villian's curse was. And a bunch of questionable prose.

I’m no book reviewer, but for me this was a breeze to read as soon as things kicked off, I enjoyed the story and universe greatly even if I scratched my head at some decisions.
