the format of the book is really fascinating and interesting you get video-surveillance and you get these text messages you get AI type stuff but the format for me while I was kind of intimidated by it I didn't mind it ultimately but I think I preferred the audiobook I didn't absolutely love this story I was surprised that I end up liking it more than I expected

Disliked

I read all the first one and there is kind of sort of some form of a twist in it that was interesting but overall I just don't I maybe I'm not a villain kind of reader I feel like I like some stories that are villain origin stories but this particular story this person was just the worst and I didn't find that I enjoyed it very much I didn't find him that intriguing

Disliked

it's definitely an interesting setup for the magic system I think Brent weeks definitely has thought through his magic system to the tee and once again this is a story where the characters aren't necessarily the best of people and I'm not opposed to that

Disliked

then she just did something at the beginning of the second one she was just behaving so stupidly at the beginning of the second one the first one I didn't feel like she was that bad and then the second one is like all character growth went out the window

Mixed

I think that the premise is really fun I think the way that Rick Riordan ties Greek mythology into the story is also really fun and he captures that feeling of helplessness that a lot of times we feel as children and feeling like we don't have any control over our own life I think he did all those things really well I'm just not in that place in my life right now

Mixed

Patrick Rothfuss has beautiful writing I am a character driven reader so I would expect that I would have loved this story but I because I'm the character driven reader when I don't love a character then I'm probably not gonna love the story and it is a tad meandering

Mixed

I read the first book and while there were some elements that I really enjoyed and there were some elements that I was really captivated by ultimately I don't plan on continuing the series because kind of similar to remnant Chronicles I just didn't find myself rooting for the main character
