Didn’t enjoy this one. I think the setting was the best part, but the characters and dialogue fell flat. Too much telling and over explaining and one dimensional characters.

Way too many characters. This was a mixed bag for me. Some things I really liked about it, others not so much.

Starts off slow, but definitely improves. This was nearly a dnf due to language in the first few chapters, however, that also improved. The translation page would have been more helpful in the beginning of the book.
