It's like this book has been completely rushed and yet half the events are completely unnecessary. We keep constantly thinking characters have died and then when rin is reunited with them they don't even acknowledge it? Just carry on straight from where they left off with the same old conversations... the pacing is horrible, half the descriptions don't make sense and have no continuity...I actually hate it

I don't know if I can finish...
I want to finish to be able to give an accurate review and also as an act of study in how to write a bad book. In any case the fact that the author has had so much success assuages me that even if I think my own sworn so bad, bad work can get great recognition.

Ps this author is PROBLEMATIC

So far this book presents exactly the same problems that the main character experiences in the first book of the series. Oh no, she can't summon the god any more. Oh no, she's being experimented on again. All the characters are just ruminating on the events of the last book instead of moving forward in the story. Actual action points seem like afterthoughts that are breezed past in mere pages.

Feels like side quests from a video game.
Rin is insufferable and I absolutely detest her.
I've rolled my eyes several times.

2 chapters in and things are looking messy and uncompelling...
