Others might enjoy this but it wasn't for me. The protagonists inner dialogue left me feeling tense and frustrated. Bored and rolling my eyes. I have enough of that in the real world. Was hoping the end would make up for it. I wanted to give it a chance after the introduction of lgbt characters. But they barely get any pages. Idk. The magic and universe have potential. The author is talented. I just really didn't enjoy this at all. I read this genre to escape and relax. This made me feel angry annoyed... Not quite indignant.
