I think at the end of the day this book was just not my cup of tea and not what I was feeling up to reading. Like an good shonen anime that just didn't click with me. I do think though that the length of the book really dragged, it took me longer than usual to finish it and 700+ pages just felt like too much. The blurb at the end of the book that I mistakenly read without realizing it was the next book did get me interested to see how the second book goes so when it's available at my library I'll probably finish it as well.

inkwithimagination's review against another edition
The constant misogyny, sexual content, and insulting portrayals of women on almost every page make me uncomfortable continuing. I understand that some foul language, sexual content, and even sex scenes can be part of a story, but does it have to be on every page? And what's with that d*ck & prostitute joke? That's too much. I've read a lot of grimdark fantasy, and while many include foul language and brutal deaths, this one made me uncomfortable and gross, especially in the way the author wrote about girls and women.
This sadden me because I really had high hope for this since i really like the premise of the story but disappointed by how it was written. If you love the book then good for you ,but it's definitely not for me.
