DNF. 80%

I had a really hard time getting through what I did with this book. The writing just wasn’t very good. I know the author was excited about world building; but it was just just so forced; overloading the reader with details about the different races; gods; magic systems; and then a long drawn out chapter detailing the the rules of a fictional card game that culminated in the main character being raped by another man; and not being very upset about it.

This is where the book lost me; first you had the bad writing; followed by clumsy world building; but you lost me at the homosexuality.

I’m out; wish I hadn’t started; can’t wait to read something else.
