Really hoping to finish this today so that I can move on to another book. I've grown bored with this one.

After all the character set up I've had a difficult time getting back into the story. It feels like I'm doing the book equivalent of watching YouTube videos of people playing games or unboxing toys, which I never understood the appeal. The book started out well, but lost it's momentum just as quickly.

I am not usually one for fantasy or YA books, but I was looking for fun Christmas reads and this one keeps getting mentioned in all Christmas lists. I was surprised in the beginning how the book drew me in. However, once they turned it into a real life game of D&D I was immediately turned off. I have played D&D a few times with my kids. Personally, I don't see the appeal...and reading about it even less so.
