Slow start, VERY slow. Middle of the book picks up the pace and becomes quite engaging
The very end is a wee bit predictive
Overall a nice message. An ok book

To me this fell flat. Reads a wee bit like Liu Cixin but just a little. Not enough to capture me the same way Liu does

Pretty meh book/story
Interesting idea but the execution is subpar

To me this reads like something from the same place where Studio Ghibli draws inspiration from.

So far this reads like a fusion of "The Daevabad Trilogy" meets "Shades of Magic"
And not a lot of differences other than the bare minimum to not make it a copy
In itself is not a bad book. But if you have read the other 2 sagas this just feels like a half baked copy
Quite interesting and fun style. Definitely enjoyed it
