I loved this novel, up till around chpt 380-400. I won't give any specific spoilers, but at a certain point I found my self saying well d@*n its the same as last time. That train of thought lead me to go examine the re-read just to make sure I wasn't being unfair considering I loved this novel till that point. And yeah every arc seems to contain the same elements. Up till 400 at least I gave up on this one after that.Normally I enjoy stories that flow well above all else, are fun, and are consistent (considering I like fantasy I just need it to follow its own rules or rules set by the author.) The reason I dropped it even though I loved how fun it was, I just couldn't keep avoiding this novels glaring problem and the very thing I stated as my first priority when choosing a story, the flow. After every important conflict the MC ends in the same state, says the same types of things ect. I guess I ignored it till I just couldn't anymore.So, when I realized there wouldn't be any further organic growth I gave up on good ol Cale. But I will say I loved this novel till 400. I had a great time reading. I just think the author fell in love with this recipe, but try it out you may like it. I will say though if I had read a different novel for as long as this one and invested that type of time and stopped at this stage I would have regretted even looking at the title but not this one I have even re read... well up till chpt 350-380 at least.
