The author likes to restate certain things within the story. The concept of the story is good, but the writing is not as if the hammer home a point, the author will retail an entire mini story arc just to get a pop across the point that specific person is good or bad. By the third book, the author will tell us who a specific person is who we’ve been interacting with this entire time. I don’t mind when an author re-introduces a long lost character or if they give a short description as to her this person was again as a reminder to give us a whole chapter how this person makes the main character feel is a bit much. The story is also a series of downs. I always feel like the main characters can never do anything right and there’s never a win for them. By the third book which I did not finish, I had to stop after a major plot point because everything that the characters do failed and everything that we’ve been writing on seems useless. Minor spoiler: when Blake goes to get the sword and we have a whole arc about how important it is to redeem the dungeon, don’t then crap on your entire story by making it all useless. I’ve never written a review before, but I’ve had to write one for this one because it’s so frustrating to see a potentially good story goes so bad. the readers performance was good however it could have been better if it’s sped up just a little bit it felt a little drawn out for my taste.
