I had a really hard time getting into this book. The worldbuilding is amazing and so very thorough and learning that the author was 15 when he wrote this is incredible. So incredible that I'm jealous as a want to be author at 26. But, there are times you can tell that the author was 15. It seemed like there was a lot of detail that didn't need to be there, like he wasn't giving readers enough credit to understand what was going on. Plus, we don't need to know every time the characters are hungry or tired--we get it. Also, this was full of every trope from the fantasy genre imaginable. There's nothing wrong with tropes, there is a reason they're popular. But fitting them all in while not even turning them on their head made the book more cliche and predictable. And to put it plainly, I was bored the whole time. This book had so much potential but the writing made it fall flat, and I don't think I'll be continuing the series.
