Why?
Evil mages are evil. Yeah, I get it. Look, I am just so over the whole mages are evil as a group (with, sometimes, that one protagonist exception) in fantasy.
Also, it sounds like the sequels really amp up torturing (sometimes literally) the characters (same reason I quit reading the Nightrunner series) and, I was somewhat misled as to what this book was.
The last two are kind of on me because I do like going into stories without reading a bunch of reviews and/or about the sequels. Just over all, not my kind of read.
