Status Updates From دماء الملوك الأوائل

Almost 50% in & the world feels barely explored or explained. Its maybe a bit TOO character-focused, to the detriment of the unique world that was promised. I'm feeling entirely too light on both necromancy and dragons, which were the two selling points of this novel.

realized i've been forgetting to update my progress here lol

I feel like we skipped all the introduction & just jumped into everyone's big first action / change-of-circumstance. I'm not sure it's working, not for all 3 POVs anyway. I expected to like Loran's POV the most but she does the most 'skipping' from event to event so it's harder to connect with her than with Cain who's timeline is consistently-paced. Arienne’s in the middle, but also dropping all the good lore, so.
