There were some bits of the plot I really liked but the dialogue really dragged and sometimes it was a slog to get through.

I just could not get into this at all. By 20% feel like should care even a little bit. But nah.

I liked the end of the book far more than I had when I started it. I enjoyed the world and the characters, and it was very funny. I was struggling through part one but found parts 2 and 3 far more enjoyable. The author's writing style was throwing me off massively as I kept having to read and reread the same paragraphs, feeling like I was missing details that weren't there in the first place. At times it was incredibly hard to follow. Despite that it was generally an enjoyable experience and the story was well done and interesting.

Normally my main problem with books is that the author takes a one book story and somehow manages to split it up into multiple books. This book is the opposite of that. There were a lot of different adventures and side quests, but each one was explained appropriately and everything fit into one novel!
At first I was really unsure about this book. I thought it was going to go on my DNF shelf, because I was having a hard time just reading 50 pages. But I will say that a little after 50 pages the story picked up and it really held my interest.
A lot of things happen, and I mean a lot. It's best to be really focused on what's happening, so you don't miss anything that's going on. One of the questions that I had when I first started reading was: Why is the Living Man so important? I think the question was beautifully answered at the end.
There's humor, drama, dead people, and a whole lot of action. I would definitely recommend this book! But maybe steer away if you're extremely squeamish.
