Lore was insanely hyped and I was insanely excited to read it. I found it to be slow, with a ton of information that had very little actual explanation. There were so many "false gods" and "new gods" and "old gods" and titles that made no sense and everything got mixed up so easily.
It also seemed like I was reading a sequel. As if there had been another book with all the world-building and then this one was picking up where the other left off, making the assumption that the reader understood all of the characters and the world when, in reality, I did not.
The end felt rushed. I got to the point where there were only about 50 pages left and was baffled as to how they'd wrap up the story in such a short period of time. I'm still not sure whether the ending was the real ending or if there's supposed to be a sequel.
Needless to say, definitely not one that I enjoyed. I had potential but didn't live up to it.
