I got to the vivid description of rape done by the main character on a child and couldn’t go on

Flowery language. Going on and on about leprosy.

The world/magic is kind of interesting, but I wonder how it's actually connected to the real world. I'm not invested enough to read more of the series to find out if that is ever explained, though.

As with any story, this volume suffers from using the "all a dream" trope. Eventually I did feel like it was a metaphor for our lives being obsessed with our weaknesses instead of embracing our strength in this magical world, which was kind of interesting, but it came about in a very  annoying Ten of Swords overthinking kind of way.
