Some of the characters monologing is just awful to read and none of the characters (especially the knights) are hard to distinguish from one another. The story at times becomes hard to follow, with a lack of balance between the two. The reveal for the whole memory mystery was lackluster and I felt nothing. Pretty much the only time they mention it was the reveal.

Characters go on these painful monologues like I can see the attempt at characterization but they have no motivations its so BORINGGG

I enjoy the moment where they try to give Beatrice character about "how quickly she trusted a polite soldier" so this doesnt make much sense when Axl too had felt bad, trusting him. There was no build up, AND Axl contradicts himself. And it seems like theyre giving Wistan, the soldier more characterization for them. And the whole mystery with memory doesnt get brought up neatly as often as it should.

Things havent changed much. Them going to a village only to have people attempt killing them and be completely fine the next day?? The explanation was pitiful, and it just so happens the ONE soldier can speak their language. It really feels like a weak excuse not to write their characters. There's several awkward silence when the soldiers join them. Where is the characterization??

The setting is interesting but its just.. Boring, like I can see the attempt at characterization and the over arching motivation but I feel them as characters are lacking internal motivation. This seems to be an issue with a lot of books, the faulty execution
