I think im in a reading slump where nothing is hitting the spot and everything is falling flat.


 There was nothing wrong with this book I just couldnt connect, there was a lot of characters and I just wasnt motivated to try to figure out who was who. I listened to the audiobook and at times I really like the narration and then other times I found it annoying. I felt like I got dropped in the middle of an epic series where everyone was already expected to know all the terms and that the foundational world building was complete and already communicated to the reader. I feel like it was a me issue that something just wasnt clicking for me to fall into the story. Maybe I should have tried it on paper and not audiobook. 


I don't see me reading anymore of. this series.
