Some guy on tiktok says this is better than Rothfuss’s “Name of the Wind” and began reading this to find out. What I found out is that this is a much more ambitious novel than Rothfuss. But I also found that it was slow and I lost patience with it. It seemed like each time the plot began to move forward it decided to digress to some new aspect of the world (or the struggle of the protagonist). Or maybe the problem was me and that I am a little burned out with reading. Anyway with about a hundred pages left I bailed out and skip, skip, skipped ahead hoping for some traction which I never found. So sadly, in spite of interesting likeable characters and strong verbiage, I am outta here.
