I did not like this book it’s probably my least favorite from this year. The main character is supposed to be villainous but he’s also a Gary Stu edgelord who just isn’t fun to follow. There’s a plot twist like 3/4 through which isn’t foreshadowed well and makes no sense at all. There’s plots pacing is all over the place and the plot itself is just things happening because they need to happen. I didn’t like or feel attached to any of the characters either.
