this book isn’t complete. it’s the first act of a book. or even a first half. there are a ton of superfluous scenes and a Gary Stu of a main character who seems to just be unwilling to accept the obvious until ~7/8 through the book. the writing itself is decent and the performance was good. this just really needed to be cut down and placed in to a larger story. I like the concept. i just feel that the execution took too long to get what felt like a mid point of a story.
