It was decent, super slow at the start & it was still slow later on but got a little bit more to a medium at the end. I have literally forgotten most names & the plot is literally “girl is in tower, girl is extremely selfish & only sees the “me” side of things, a creature needs spell for the Nepha Lord, small fight here & there she’s still selfish even with people telling her “it’s not about you stop that” & then she realizes it’s not about her but then immediately goes back to it. I won’t be finishing the series but I’m not upset I read it either tbh.
