I'm so annoyed I couldn't enjoy this series like most people seem to. For the start, Ash is naive and childish. He shouldn't have become Seelie King. He is grossly unprepared, inexperienced, self absorbed, doesn't know anything about how seelie suffered under the Brid. At first, I thought there'd be some reincarnation stuff since Ogma, Sloga etc keep hinting about fulfilling destiny and fate. God, plot is mediocre and everything too easy that all become so boring and I couldn't care less after Lonan becomes Death King. Lonan is a decent character and he's a goddamn badass assasin who I didnt see in action except killing a store owner on Carlin's order. Urgh!! I hope others enjoy this cuz it aint my book. 😭😭
