Felt like you're reading a video game plot
I see why others enjoyed this book, but I personally felt it was super long and boring. I liked the characters and world-building, but there's no clear quest. Just this thing that they have to do for reasons they don't quite understand. They collected people to their group, and it felt a lot like they were talking to NPCs. At the end, they just fight another regular battle...and then continue on. There was no climax or great relevation.
This is just my take. I wouldn't personallu recommend this book, but I think others would still enjoy this.
