For the first 30 or so pages, I kept thinking, "dang, this is so formulaic, I'm not going to like it," and then I was sucked in and utterly absorbed for the whole rest of the book. It's well-written, engrossing, and just a lot of fun to read. If I had one *minor* nitpick, I'd say that too many characters had similar-looking names, and sometimes I struggled to keep track. That's probably just my own brain, though, and it certainly didn't detract from the overall book. I think if you like fantasy and/or sci-fi, you'll enjoy this one!

The book so far is amazing hence 4 stars but if you plan on reading whilst listening to Audible… don’t… the narrator is either reading from a different copy or is choosing to make his own sentences up/leaving sentences out completely… very disappointing…

This novel was fantastic. There are plenty of reveals while also teasing enough to make you want more. There are fascinating characters and while the setting isn’t overly descriptive the story does a great job of giving it some authenticity. My only complaint is the lack of a motivation by the villains and some of the action wasn’t as descriptive as I would’ve liked. I’m excited to continue the series

I thought it was ok. Lots of great ideas with poor execution. Lots of plot holes. Lots of unnecessary and convoluted points that end up being irrelevant, like the author thought of something then never went back to finish it. Almost all the problems would be best solved by killing someone. And there’s literally zero reason not to. It’s not even a morality thing. The characters have killed before and they have all the reason to do so now but they just don’t. Ends up making things convoluted for no reason.

One of my all time favorite series.

The best book I’ve read in years!

Love all the things the author uses to move the plot along. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but if you’re a fan of fantasy and time manipulation, this is for you.

Finishing this series is a must. Very well written.

Fairly well defined story with a pretty unique concept and some interesting conflicts and semi interesting characters. Great potential. Sadly the never end assault of god voice narrator character, inner voice speaking for others and relentless allegorical over indulgence me at even reading it on my phone and. Wing really into the story, I still had to lightly resist the urge to hurl this book against a wall. If you don’t mind those things then the story is absolutely worth it

A lot of comparisons were made to “The Wheel Of Time” in the description of this book series. I found the comparison to be inverted, in that WOT begins simply, with archetypical characters while this series starts with intricate nuanced ones. WOT gradually adds to the complexities while this on gradually reduces them. Not sure which one I prefer.
