DNFing here. Unfortunately, this book is not for me. The politics and plot are really dragging and I can not get myself to care.

The author does a lot of showing and not telling, which is not always good in epic fantasy. I feel like I don't have a proper grasp of the world we are in, it's history, where countries are or how the current state of things came to be.

Also found myself not caring for any of the MCs.

I severely dislike hot-headed and impulsive characters lmao sorry Arkaen
