Just like book 1, I have my qualms, but overall, I enjoyed it a fair bit. The central hook of the story is the power progression, and Wight is able to do that in pretty creative and intriguing ways.
Throughout this book, I kept thinking of how anime it felt, for better and for worse. It's a medium I’m mixed about. The premise is usually held back by its execution. Perhaps it is a bit unfair to portray this series as such, as I'm aware Wight was developing his craft, but you can feel that the writing is a bit rough around the edges. The plot progression feels janky at times, and the characters other than the main ones feel a bit thin (eithan was fun though, i like that archetype), but that's to be expected from one of the earlier books of a self-publishing author.
P excited to see where this series is gonna go.
