It was never really that deep since the writing style is annoyingly frustrating to understand because it’s all just broken sentences. Did it seem interesting? It did, but it was too vague, too simple, no creativity and confusing to grasp the concept of the world itself. 

I did however was curious to know what happens and I think my curiosity is the only thing that made the book bearable in my opinion. This was definitely overhyped plus the fantasy aspect is literally underwhelming in which it has too many plot holes and little to no character development with it being very predictable as well as the plot being thrown out the window because I literally did not not understand anything. It took me half of the book to grasp the whole plot of the book but oftentimes I was still confused. Although I do not think it was the worst book considering I can name a few books that are worst than this. What bothered me the most is the writing style like how can this book be approved to be published when for me it might have been an essay of broken sentences with it being practical which is the opposite of a fantasy book. This was straight up mediocre that can be found in wattpad. I think this story had potential but again, the writing style, world building and characters are little to nonexistent with depth. 

Lastly, I can definitely say that if my curiosity is the one thing that made the book bearable it did mean that I was curious enough to slightly enjoy the book. It doesn’t mean I truly hate the book i just wanted to point out the obvious flaws of the book itself.
