I’m sorry, I had to give up pretty early on. This book has a problem that I think a lot of first person POV fantasy and sci-if books have, which is that they spend too much time info-dumping (especially at the start of the story) via the protagonist’s string of consciousness. It’s like for every action statement or piece of dialogue, there are at least three paragraphs of tangential exposition.

It’ll read like: “I stood at the stove and started to prepare dinner like I always do. You see, ever since my mother got sick. . . [Insert whole page about the character’s family drama sparked by the mention of dinner] Once the water in the pot got to a boil, I reached into the cupboard for the vegetables I bought at the market yesterday. I always enjoy going to the market, it’s where. . . [insert side story about the market]” and on and on and on, until you’re 50 pages in and all the character has actually done is made soup.

It’s a lazy way to build the world of your story, and it’s exhausting to endure as a reader.
