I found myself unable to be immersed into the book as readily as others. The descriptions of locations seemed surface level and lacking (and I don’t need Tolkien level descriptions haha). The first 2/3 of the book seemed to be a really expository but not particularly  interesting lead up to the last 1/3 of the book. 

I don’t feel it was poorly written, but perhaps it just wasn’t the kind of book for me.
