It started off well enough, and I was thoroughly enjoying it and interested. But somewhere at the end of the first part and going into the second part I just got more frustrated and it started losing me. I didn't care for Nona, and the others were either boring or predictable. Only Abbess Glass was great but she wasn't used enough (funnily enough when the kids wanted to go to Glass but then realize she would be gone and they would have to fix it themselves - Harry Potter déja vu haha). I'm also not one who cares too much for detailed descriptions or explanations or anything but the lack of it here just started to bother me.

I hate that the second part soured my experience with it so much, because the first part had genuinely good and interesting things. Mark Lawrence's writing might just not be my thing.
