As I read more and more...The overall plot is decent if overused. Typical character tropes etc, none of which are the overbearing issue.Where it lacks is the fact that it tries to read as 4d chess but really is barely tic tac toe - the main character plays dumb but is powerful and smart and outmanuevers everyone... but that's pretty easy when most of your adversaries (and allies) only have one defining characteristic.Another issue is the repetitive nature of switching viewpoints but ultimately only fixing the cliff... in one no half a chapter. All that fake build up and then poof, ha I knew your plan so I faked my plan while this was my real plan (or some complexity of this) etc. HAPPENS EVERY TIME.It was interesting enough at the start to overlook all these issues but time wears on and the fallacies that have been building is rearing its ugly ass (probably even earlier but I am not the most astute reader)
