tophokles's review against another edition

Damn, this was horribly paced. Like, the beginning is pretty intriguing, but nothing happens for about 150 pages or so. And by now I don't think this world or this writing is gonna captivate me. The protagonist is just an empty vessel that plot happens to.
There are mysteries coming up constantly but nothing is ever solved and what is happening is just either boring or needlessly gruesome.
I've gone ahead and spoiled myself as best as I could, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna get more interesting anytime soon (or at least paced better)

It might not have been the right time for me, but the content was so dark. I needed a more hope filled story. The world was interesting but I couldn’t take one more bad thing happening.
