The Black Prism

Good, real-life characters, good interactions, excellent magic system, goodish plot,nice middle-eastern flavor. Congrats on all those, none an easy task.
But I got bored repeatedly by large swaths of descriptive text, and it tries to fringe 50/50 between ya and adult fantasy to get both publics, but fails and is rather 60%ya (simplistic action, straight forward story, teenager annoying MC, plenty of yuhuuu! moments). Way too much for my taste.
A good book that I did not enjoy because of my age. Will not read the sequels, though I already have them.
