Indefinite hold. Might come back but I just need a break. It doesn’t help that it feels like you need a strategy guide to read this series either!

I'm sorry Erikson, you win this one. Maybe I'll come back to this series at some point, but this just fries my brain trying to keep it all straight. I do greatly admire the work, the writing and have enjoyed the books till now, but I cannot continue the struggle.
