The plot was so circular. It needed to be edited down by at least 2k words. We wouldn’t need a second book if all the fluff had been cut out. 

Is so frustrating, the characters have to go through the same “characters building” situations a hundered times before they even START to develop. It’s the same issue with no real resolution. 

I’m really sad because the world is so fun! The plot has so much potential but then it was so boring in practice. I can’t stand a “travel” book, particularly when all they are doing it wandering, and that’s all this is. 

Also if you are going to kill off a character (like we see them die!! There was a body! He was confirmed dead) then have the guts to actually leave them dead! Don’t pull up with this cowardly resurrection. If the death wasn’t real you have to give me a reasonable reason to believe that! Otherwise I just feel cheated out and lied to
