"Bitter Medicine" starts off on shaky ground, resembling a debut work with notable weaknesses in world-building and unclear character development. The initial chapters lack gripping elements to sustain interest, and the overall plot feels disjointed, lacking coherence. Key characters remain underdeveloped, contributing to a sense of aimlessness in the narrative, akin to a loosely structured, improvised story.

It took a bit for me to get used to the writing style and world building, but then I really enjoyed it.
