Very slow stories, not remotely interesting with too many descriptions and a plot usually going nowhere. All stories end somewhat boringly or without a point. 
The book is also hard to read and unrewarding.

I couldn't get fully immersed in the book. The plot was a bit slow and predictable at moments. 
Overall I think it's a good book, but not a good book for me.
