Such a sssssllllllooooooowwww start. I wanted to stop about 2 hours in. But I read the reviews and decided to stick with it. 4 hours in….still no story. MC still not getting it. A bard, trying to get rid of rats, and he leaves his instrument behind? Ever heard of the Pied Piper? That was a small annoyance, but I really can’t keep waiting for the story to begin. I can’t keep waiting for anything to truly make sense.
Sure, in real life, stuff happens and we have to blindly find our way through it, but watching someone make their 3rd call to HR to figure out their health insurance benefits just isn’t a compelling read.
Even SBT couldn’t pull this out of its mediocrity.
