There’s parts that I love in this book. Then there’s parts that have me smh. So much info needs more explanation.

I’m curious if it would be better with a prequal book about the ancients or whatever they are called. (this is my point… I can’t even remember the historical magical-being’s names because there is too much to sort through… I read Cosmere books less confusing!)

I really like this book, but there’s something about the complex history within the realms that doesn’t click for me. A few moments with the writing that are off as well, but otherwise a good read. Aiming for upper 4 stars as of now. Definitely won’t reach a 5 star read, but it’s still up there.

I’m still really liking this read. I’ve been reading it before bed and therefore not making a lot of headway, but what I do read is a good time.
