Sorry. Tapping out. If it were shorter, I'd try to power through, but got almost 200 pages in and still am not enjoying. Main character is written like a some kind of righteous and just god doling out the most perfect wisdom and most justified punishment, narration all over the place, villains are cliched and awful, would also love a few less instances of "whore" thrown about. Pretty disappointed!

Incredibly disappointing to find that I'm struggle-bussing through this. The tone/voice is just... not doing it for me at all. This sounds silly but the main character has major Main Character Syndrome, but in a way where he has zero faults and is therefore completely uninteresting to me. Will try to push through a bit more and see if I end up coming around.
