Alright. I’m finally at my 50% cut off point. I’m losing a lot of interest in this. I like the beginning, I like that our main character makes mistakes, and I like the magic system, but the repetitive trauma dumping is wearing on me. This is a dower book based on real events and while I can appreciate that, I’m not enjoying the execution. Let’s see if it gets good again.

The military doesn’t make sense to me anymore. Why are they starving and beating recruits and then expecting them to perform well during training? I see this so much in fantasy books and it feels like trauma porn. The evil military is already evil for stealing kids and putting guns in their hands. The trauma of war is enough. We don’t need the starving and shit. It just makes them look stupid to me.
