The book is painfully slow to pick up pace. The whole first act is really shoddy. The event that starts the journey of the MC is not very plausible and could have been easily avoided.

I really can't relate to someone acting so rashly with a kid and a wife. I can never see a dad acting like that.

And then there is the MC. He is really insufferable. I don't mind morally grey characters, but this guy is straight-up unlikeable.

The writing is unnecessarily winded and could have been shortened.

If not for the ARC copy, I would have DNFed and never looked back. The slap in the face was that this is the first of six planned books.

If it were part of a series, the author could have toned the book down so much. It’s not worth the time needed to read it.

Good try as a debut. I liked the villains more than the MC, and some side characters were interesting.

When not dragged down by long-winded parts and the insufferable MC, some parts were actually good to read.

Not much else I can praise. Kind of a frustrating and disappointing read overall.

If it were a trilogy, I might have given it another try to see the ending, but for a six-book series, it really isn't good enough to make you want to pick up the next one, especially with such a terrible protagonist
