2.75
Honestly the majority of the book was ok, but 75% was redundant. We spend basically the first 75% flipping between Paedyn being the captive and Kai being the captive. As such the plot never seems to progress. Especially since all this happens in basically the same setting. Basically nothing happens in the first 75% of the book which is too long. There’s also the matter of the weird data dump that is clearly because the author got a lot of criticism on book 1 for missing motivations. I think this book had a lot of potential it just missed the mark.
