A huge disappointment
By Kil0o
I have trudged through the contradictions in lore throughout this series up until this book due to its charm but I have stopped reading this book partially through. This book has deeply perturbed me, angered me even. The author skips over training of the main character- this is something character development needs, growth, progress! We want to see it... feel it. That annoyed me but what actually made me throw the book down was when the protagonist conjures the first fantastic natural disaster level of magic done in centuries you’re seeing it from the perspective of someone else, you don’t hear what his soul swords say about it, no one is in awe, it’s treated an unimpressive “oh you can do that now, cool... beautiful weather we are having” and only one person out of the group even does that. The author sucked all the gratification out of this type of book. I’m not reading it further. Just wow. I’m sorry, bad writing needs to be called out. She had a great outline; that is where the greatness abruptly ended.
