This was an enormous disappointment. I was bored out of my mind while doing my best to finish it, but I couldn't do it.
The writing is horrendous... I got angrier as I read on, and when I got to the last 50ish pages, I refused to carry on, because I couldn't bring myself to care one bit. It wasn't that it was even mediocre; the whole book felt pointless to me.

There was absolutely no substance to it whatsoever. There was no world building, no character growth, no interesting writing, no nothing.
