Why make a point of saying ‘It was good for these nobles from the city to see the monster’s body. It showed them manticores weren’t supernatural. They weren’t invincible. They were monstrous animals, but they were still animals’

Only to say ‘Ahead of me stretched a shining road stacked with the pelts of demons’ on the next page?

Ehhhh, this writing style and character voice isn’t really working for me. Is the fact that people are afraid to be out trading and travelling after a manticore kills a bunch of people in a town a ‘strange thing’? Especially when the character/author is comparing this reaction to death to women dying in childbirth, or men dying on battlefields? Huh?

I keep losing track of what everyone is doing, and what the goal is, but I’m still appreciating the writing style. I could easily just stop reading at any moment (as I’m not attached to any character or plot point) but yet I still enjoy the process of reading this?

Enough with the inner monologues about ‘normal people’ please! At least it’s a break from gingerbread, I suppose.

I’ve really enjoyed the beginning of this story. The introductions to the characters, world and gods has been right up my alley. I’m a bit scared that I’ll start having a bad time when the romance kicks in, but we’ll see..

Yeah I really hope this plot starts to kick off soon. I’m being worn down by the repetitive phrasing and descriptions.

I’m noticing a bit of repetition in terms of descriptions that are bothering me a little, but we’ll see how things play out.
