This is feeling like a slog, the info dumping is very annoying. The premise is really interesting but I'm not sure I can push through all the info dumping that pauses the story. I'll keep trying as everyone seems to love this story, although maybe it's because there's people who finish this story vs the people who DNF it and can't get through it.

Finally something interesting has happened. I nearly DNF'ed this at 35%, pushed through to 50% and only now am I feeling like I want to keep reading. Not great!

There sure is a lot of info dumping, I’m getting lost with all the details.

So far there’s a LOT of telling rather than showing, it’s literally the MC describing the story of the book, so we the reader can understand the situation she’s in having woken up inside said book. I’m waiting for the pivotal moment that I assume will change the way the story is being told and it will feel more immersive. This book also has a very high rating, so I’m intrigued.

Oops I only just saw this! It did get better past the halfway mark, I liked the twist.

Yeah, I was conflicted on the rating because I really like the premise and I want to know what's going on so I will pick up the second book, but I definitely would've DNF'ed it at 33% if it wasn't for all the glowing reviews. But I am glad I pushed through, the second half was a lot better.
Thanks, I'll check out that series! I also want to check out their Kate Daniels series.
