Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett

Honestly I'm shocked at how bad this series is. The dialogue is just people repeating the exposition, no one does anything without another character saying what are you waiting for?? The magic is increasingly implausible, and the main villains aim is to...take the magic away? Like who cares?I don't think it had the effect the author intended.
The deaths were unearned, all the twists were seen coming a thousand miles away to the point where it felt like the characters were acting stupidly not to be surprised. Everyone is like WOW Valeria is sus as hell but we don't have time to look into it all, ever.
The other villain LOVES a monologue, finds sanscia fascinating for no good reason, is fooled by every trap, plot is nonsensical
