Love the idea, but the execution so far has been poor. The author begins by exploring the concept of one person in two bodies, but essentially it doesn't matter a few chapters in, when the two of them are separated. At that point the initial hook is gone. After that...Spoiler
The story essentially becomes a very generic "protagonist has massive inborn talent, and gets trained by the best of the best" but with both bodies; one in martial arts, and the other in magic. The protagonist doesn't have a very distinct personality, and none of the other characters stand out as much more than cardboard cutouts. At the point where I'm at in the novel, there is also very little happening from chapter to chapter. I'm still reading, hoping that the author will bring this somewhere good, but I'm also feeling that I may be wasting my time.
