Started well but became so tangled in its own storyline that it became frustrating… and this is not normally a problem for me.

Just wandered off. It wasn't bad, just lost track of it while reading other books.
La historia es de un héroe, que no es un héroe que su misión es acabar el mundo como se conoce. El problema es que no se da cuenta de su importancia o irrelevancia y por situaciones circunstanciales terminará completando su profecía, a pesar de no querer cumplirla e incluso sufrir bastante.
Good use of alternate story lines but the cast list and the switching of viewpoints left me behind at times; the narrative arc is a little crowded. Kihrin doesn't behave like a 15 year old boy either. There are hints that he has lived many lives but the whole business of being Returned I found a bit like a Get Out Of Jail Free card, too easily deployed for key characters. Kihrin (is he actually a Kirin?) hobnobs with wizards, kings and gods rather too easily.
Over the course of ~700 pages it rips along, never pausing for self reflection and is quite enjoyable, in the same way that a roller coaster is enjoyable. I could put it down and pick it up without really needing to retain much of the prior story. I did find it a little hard to finish and started to check page numbers which is a bad sign for me.
I don't think I'll be checking in for the sequel(s)

i went in knowing zero things except there would be footnotes and i had a blast so like, love that for me
it was, admittedly, a lot to keep track of and i definitely Did Not manage to keep everything straight in my head, but i'd definitely re-read. also, the audiobook was lovely and i really liked how the footnotes were handled.
