The book has a slow start and it’s kind of confusing at the start just because there’s a lot of information to absorb but I think that about the halfway mark the plot starts picking up. I’m excited for book 2

The author said he was high while writing this book and I believe him, because this book… was a train wreck, this book is like one of those accident that is so bad that you can’t look away from it. This book was a fevered dream, the plot, the character development the world building, where are they? I can’t find them, I spent a whole day reading this and I want my time back! There are too many plot holes, too many plot lines where abandoned halfway, the characters where one dimensional, I kind of liked the the magic system but even that was poorly done. Overall I think the idea behind this book was great it’s just that the execution was poor
