It has it strengths like the well developed setting of this incredibly rich and vast world and the story's grand ambition on tackling a story of an epic scale and hard themes. The are some issues like some shallow characters that kinda ruins the depth the story is trying to and the dumb spoilers that ruins the tension and suspense.But the story's greatest fault is in how it handles it themes.The author is so blunt and clumsy when it comes to handling of the story's themes. One that most annoys me most are the gods, specifically the god of humans and goddess of death and destruction. Here is where the author is at the most clumsy. The god of humans is irredeemable, maybe the author's commentary on humans. The goddess of death and destruction is wishy-washy who just keeps appearing to speak empty platitudes which reflects the author's very shallow understanding of death and destruction.The author just don't have much deep understanding of the themes that the story tries to tackle. It kinda feels like these themes are tacked on in the hopes that the story would feel deep and meaningful, only that, it fails to be.Though, I have to give credit, the author did try and the author do try to tackle these heavy themes respectfully even if the author falls short in the end.Overall, this story is still a great read if you can forgive the author's ineptness in tackling the story's themes and few other elements. The author definitely put thought and heart into this story and that to me makes this story worth a read.
