I was recommended this book by a friend, it’s not what I usually read but it wasn’t bad. The beginning is slow to start but the middle of the book is pretty good. I was honestly disappointed at the climax and how they

did the time-skip

which as a writer I view as a lazy way out instead of actually writing what happened. I loved the middle of the book too so this was a huge disappointment.

I also was a bit turned away by the weird relationship with Glerk and Zan at the end of the book. It almost seems like beastiality

. Either way this was an okay book. It had good lessons, but I feel like it could’ve been executed better.
