I am still unsure if I like this book or not, or if I’ll pick up the next in the series. There is a theme of actualizing your full potential and unfortunately I think the author missed the opportunity to do the same.  

I did find myself enjoying moments of this book and some of the plot battle scenes, but other times I felt like I might put it down unfinished.  The writing often felt like the author was glancing at a thesaurus and it brought me out of the story. I expected more character development and actualization of plot to happen but the pace was so slow and the world is not well depicted.  

I can see why it has a cult following and once I dive into this genre more, I think I’ll know if it’s worth it for me to continue.
