The writing is very flat and feels disjointed. While there is a lot of internal reflection and interior monologue, we’re missing many descriptors for the outside world and its people. We’re missing certain sensations. One second we’re in a forest I don’t know anything about, the next second we’ve entered into a city??? How much time has passed? Etc. etc.
It’s why the writing feels a little immature.

I fear I will have to dnf this one. The writing is just not immersive at all and I cannot overlook it because it doesn’t allow me to connect with the world or its characters. I skipped ahead and it’s not going to get better so it’s not looking good

I am here again to say I hate the writing. The author writes as though we see where we are. We’re in a city that doesn’t get described. We’re walking up a main road that leads to the castle ahead - A CASTLE? WHAT CASTLE? WHAT MAIN ROAD? WHAT CITY ARE WE IN???????? What does anything look like????????????
