The only glaring issue I’m having with all the world building is that the months are the same, January through December, and yet no signs why. Every month has a reason for the name, some after deities and others after Latin numbers, but neither exist in this world. Seems like an oversight by even the editors, because I would have pointed it out. There should be a month named after their deities and dead languages.

I’m enjoying how much I’m into this book, and it’s refreshing to have a book in 1st person for once. Too many authors these days seem to prefer 2nd and 3rd, but I’ve found world building is usually best from 1st, where people’s internal monologues can rely more information than tangents during the narrative.

I’m impressed by the descriptions of the Gauntlet challenges, many are different parts of the Sasuke!
