Whoever decided that this book needed to be written in this pov can go die a million deaths.
HONESTLY, WHY?!
It makes sense in the first book, no matter how much I hated it but this pov actively dissuaded me from reading the second book.
I took months - MONTHS - to finish this book. Why is it that I have to suffer through the first 40 to 50 percent of information overload, boredom and confusion and then get glued to each book in this series? I'm tired of it. This book takes too much brain. It answers several questions and adds many more but holy shit it takes dedication to get through.
Will I read the last book?
Yes, god help me. Please let it be a great ending and not make me suffer through the prose and POV.
