The writing style was obnoxious, but apparently not obnoxious enough for me to quit. The one redeeming factor of the book was the main character’s development arc at the end.

While I found the first couple of chapters shaky, I quickly realized that that was just the point! Confused and without memories, our main character goes on a wonderfully paced journey of adventure and self-discovery. The final climax is so tense and exciting, it was amazing to see it top the adventure that got us there.
