30% in, and I can already tell the remaining 70% will likely bring more disappointment. There’s nothing promising on the horizon, and what’s been served so far is the dullest possible cliché: a rebellious princess escaping a forced marriage, a lovestruck childhood friend, an arrogant young mage hungry for power, and of course, a village boy destined for greatness. I’ve read too many fantasy books like this. DNF.

Three-Chapter Checkpoint – Bordering on Boredom (2/5)
Nothing exciting has happened yet. Nothing fresh either. It’s shaping up to be a very cliché fantasy story. There’s some potential - conflict brewing, a small mystery hinted at - but it's unclear whether the slow pacing is intentional or if the book simply has nothing interesting to offer. I’ll give it a couple more chapters before I decide.
