Been reading a bunch of Elminster books from a bundle I picked up, apparently wildly out of order. Woops. Feels weird to go backwards in time this hard, but the story was pretty okay. Interesting to see younger versions of the characters, but this particular narrative felt like it wandered all over the place.

Sometimes I read really trashy fiction just to distract me from the universe at large.

My kingdom for a copy-editor
Someone needed to go through this text and rip out the hours of tedious duplication. It does nothing to drive the story anywhere but into the ground.
Seems on the surface to be a decent idea, needs some serious TLC.

A juvenile romp
Take several worn fantasy tropes, tie them together with the forced urgency of chase scenes and float it all on a thin foam of a constantly shifting viewpoint. Then spit out a trilogy, because that's how fantasy is sold now.
I am glad I got this for free from Kindle Unlimited. I think I'll skip the rest of the series.
