Every time the narrator starts up with C.J.'s obnoxiously-voiced nickname-y drivel I want to throw my phone into the bushes.

There are so many time skips and now Senrid and Shevraeth are rehashing scenes from previous books that were actually GOOD, and I am so outraged and confused...

Still slogging through and missing so much information despite the constant "As you know, Bob" conversations.

What is even happening here? It's like all the worst isekai/fanfic self-insert tropes rolled into one and being played with a straight face and an audiobook narrator doing a bad accent at every opportunity and apparently I'm missing a whole bunch of background info... This was supposed to be a safe, enjoyable read for me because I've had so much luck with Sherwood Smith and instead, I'm dreading it.

Sherwood Smith's kinda been my go-to Tamora Pierce analogue/chaser recently, and I was unaware that Inda was set in THIS same universe. This is very clunky so far, so I am very surprised that it's a 2019 book.

THIS book is more recent and the writing seems to have gone completely downhill and it reads like early-2000s fanfiction, complete with Earth preteens taking over society.
