maybe this isn't for me at all, but wow were the characters paper thin and their motivations no more than a single line of good-bad. the world was so fun, but the lack of depth combined with the an MC who had basically no internal conflict that wasn't solved in like a page or two was... yikes. relationships with other characters was barely present, though i did love the evil spider cult. if i need to read a series without needing my brain in between better books, i'll pick the next one up.
