It’s picking up now!

holy moly the info dumping is DENSE, there’s so many new names and locations being dropped I can’t keep up. also I’m a little frustrated with how the timeskip was done but ehhhh

I’m really enjoying this so far. Read four chapters in my first sitting and woke up in the morning looking forward to reading more. The characters are instantly likeable and the pacing is keeping me engaged. There’s some heavy world building at the beginning which I found to be a bit hard to follow but it wasn’t enough to deter me from continuing.

I haven’t picked this book up in the past week. :( reading it feels like a chore right now…

Parisa’s power has FINALLY become interesting - in this chapter she dove into Dalton’s mind and the way Blake described her magic was dreamlike. I’m still not interested in Parisa and Dalton as characters, although Dalton’s subconscious and backstory is intriguing.

The magic system is interesting, but I feel like the author keeps too much secret and doesn’t really create mystery besides the complete lack of information. Atlas’s initial invitation to the Soceity has next to zero information to intrigue you, and now that they’re there I’m nearly half way through the book before there’s some vague suggestion of “people are going to die”??? Okay??? Do I care???

Starting to pick up! I enjoyed the combat scenes during “The Installation” and the pacing seems to have picked up. Nico was a bit annoying during the combat but I’m starting to like Libby more.

Struggling with the second person and lack of Gideon in the story. Seems to be really slow too, can’t really tell you what’s happened other than Harrow spending a bunch of time in a hospital room

Starting to pick up the pace - been very slow to start until now. Way too much time spent on character exposition which didn’t make characters likeable. Many characters are insufferable and some significant characters like Dalton aren’t fleshed out enough. Currently I only like Tristan. I disliked Nico at first but he’s warming on me. Meh on Callum, Reina, Atlas and Dalton. Can’t stand Libby or Parisa.

very slow to start
