The main issue was there were too many books in this book. It needed so much editing. From small details that slowed the plot to entire side stories and characters that detracted from the main through line, the book just lumbered on with so much info that truly didn’t matter. By the end, I truly didn’t care about the main story or the many sub stories because of all the distractions.
