I’m sorry, but I’m still cracking up at the main antagonist being named SIMON.

Either I am too used to uncommon fantasy names, or this author took first 20 most popular English names from the 1800s and named the first 20 characters Tom, Will, James, Elizabeth, Simon…
Also there are literally 30 characters introduced in the first 1h, like what? In my head they are “British boy 1”, “British boy 2”…

Me, literally 2 minutes into the audiobook: “this is going to be wild.”
