The overall plot was very engaging and there are fantastic conflicts, even B and C line drama is captivating. However, I find the “big issue” introduced at the beginning of the story to be lackluster, there’s no real conclusion to anything (everything that was built was for nothing), and the third person omniscient narrator takes their job way too seriously. There are pages and pages and pages of unnecessary descriptions that were tedious to get through. I love information in books, I like learning things about characters, I love the big reveals, but these were so frequent and drawn out that I got bored in many places of the book.
