3.0

I have honestly found this series incredibly exhausting. The main characters are so blinded by their own agenda to the incredible detriment of those around them and the overarcing theme that by the third book, the characters are incredibly predictable. Every time there seems to be progress, there is a "plot twist" ending that can be seen coming a mile away.  The world that the author has built is rich and beautiful, intertwining mythology and lore that is imaginative that I would love to explore more. However, the pace is slow and just feels so drawn out that I find myself losing interest in the fate of the characters, to the point that I don't know if I will continue the series.
