I’m sure some people would really enjoy this. But I found the dry, expositional tone to be pretty uninteresting. It felt like he was exploring a concept rather than writing a story. I was looking for the wit and charm I found in Starter Villain, but it was a wholly different voice that I didn’t enjoy. Life is short, I’m giving myself permission to not finish what I’m not enjoying.
