Despite plot holes and inconsistencies in character personalities, Mixed with a bit too much dues x machina I still enjoyed this book. There is something about this story that is intoxicating. It allows me to ignore the ,at times, poor writing and keeps me on the hook. The interludes and side characters are for the most part interesting and contribute well to the world. I will say that this book is 100% worth the credit and I am eagerly awaiting this story’s continuation.
I came into this one not caring about Zach at all. Thought he was just filler. Then over the course of this book fell in love with his plot line. I will say there is some needless “Wokeness” in this book. Like how out of nowhere they felt the need to state that Zach was black, there is nothing wrong with this but it came out of left field and contributed nothing to the story. It seemed like the author was just checking a box. Oh and the they them pronouns in the dungeon that just made the dungeon scenes confusing to listen to and difficult to piece together. All in all good book much love to Ivan looking forward to the next one.
