2.5

Maybe this is just a me thing but for a long cast of characters I felt it unnecessarily confusing to sometimes  their nicknames, then first or last names randomly. I don’t mind flipping back and forth but having to do that and say in the story became stressful because the names were already unusual. I didn’t start enjoying it until the last 5 chapters and it that was the beginning of the story I wouldn’t have mind.

This book may be beyond my fantasy reading level. I found the characters very hard to track and the action scenes felt like they came out of nowhere and it was confusing who was involved. I DNF’ed 12 hours into the audiobook because I just wasn’t invested in the story. I can see devout fantasy readers loving this. It did make me chuckle out loud a handful of times.
