The Will of the World by M.J. Lindemann
3.0
I loved the first 60% of the book. It was phenomenal: an amazing world, magic system and a set of diverse complex characters. I loved how we get to see the bad, the ugly and all the suffering. If the book had ended somewhere around 60%, my rating would be much higher. I was confused why no one was jumping and talking about this book when it had everything to be a great fantasy masterpiece. The plot was amazing.
The problem for me was the rest of the book. The characters became all too powerful to be believable. Some of them are going in their first missions but they are so powerful and struggle with nothing that it just gets… uninteresting. The political plot gets very predictable and the pacing was off. The characters become less relatable and uninteresting. It was even hard for me to finish this book and I was so sad because at some point I could not put it down.
