I was hoping for a fun rollicking novel about a fantasy realm. What the story is reads like a walk thru of a new video game. The inordinate amount of time listing the level ups of the main character. It gets tiresome after a while. The women in the story are treated like objects by the author and the characters in the story. It’s the worst stereotype of women I have read in a while. The performance is well done but the material to work with is sorely lacking. I wanted to like this story but I just can’t and I won’t be moving ahead with the series.
