Unabridged Audiobook
This book as expected had a lot of the epic fantasy tropes and storytelling that I expected. A semi interesting world that could use some polish on details and some more major work on the magic system, to really cement understanding how how it works and it's limitations. There are a lot of mirror plots and structure to the book when compared to Brandon Sandersons Stormlight Archive. This made me enjoy, and simultaneously get less enjoyment from this title. There are too many characters with names crammed into the first 10 chapters or so and you don't really get a grip on who is who for a long while. The names are all very similar in format and in my opinion there are too many names that start with C or K and it makes it confusing as an audiobook listener to parse the differences in names. My final nitpick is that there are some continuity issues and although I didn't notice any major ones that really affect the overall plot, it was definitely noticable. Overall I see promise in the series, I just hope it stays from what I see as overused tropes, and gets it own plotstyle/formatting, so it feels less like a Sanderson book.
