Dear gods I can't handle the poor writing this time around. I forced myself to listen to book 1&2 at work but now I have trainees and I can't bring myself to turn it back on.

Honestly it's good so far. I'm just in a bad mental place and reading sucks for me. So I'm gonna return it to the library so the next person can read it. Maybe I'll try again in a month or so.
