This was really fun, but it does have some issues with the writing. Pacing is pretty wishy washy and sometimes it can be a bit cheesy, I also wish some of the side characters were explored more. Besides that, this book has a HUGE atmosphere, like a Dark Souls game almost this book was an amazing atmospheric experience, and the story while a bit awkward due to the above problems, the plot twists and plot in general was enganging and I had a crap ton of fun. I will definitely be tuning into the second book when it comes, and I don't understand the pretty negative stigma behind this book. If the writer sorts out the kinks, this will be an amazing duology.
