One word. Boring. I tried and tried to read this but it progressively got worse as chapters went by.The summary is blatantly misleading and is my number one complaint, if anything else.
- Actually, what would of saved this novel, is if in fact, the MC was a cult leader or actually just a villain - and that this series leaned more into the fantasy and action aspects rather then the "talk you to death" approach.
- The issue with this approach, if not executed properly, is boring your reader to death.
- Plot driven but boring. The world created is interesting, however the utilisation of it is wasted.
- Fantasy aspects, (Gods, "Magic", Blessings), not used in interesting ways to draw in the reader or rarely used in an active fashion.
- Endless rambling. Pointless dialogue that don't add anything to the story or characters.
- POV changes. It can work well, but in this novel, no. I was not a fan of how this series switched POV's. To be quite frank, I couldn't care less about Nasir's POV on things. I simply didn't care or want to.
