I've been stuck at the 10th chapter for a long time already. And i think i'll just stop forcing myself to push forward with this book. *The pros : - The magic system is innovative . - The Mc has a mysterious background. - The writing quality is above average and i didn’t spot many mistakes( if any). - The chapters aren't too short nor too long. *The cons : - The story is difficult to understand. The best way to describe this story would be : confusing ( at least where i was at). This "vis" system is not really explained and everything just goes along like that. While i agree with the " letting your readers understand for themselves " way, sometimes it's better to state clearly what is happening and how things function. It might not be a cons for some who are patient enough though. And i could have overlooked this too. However, the remaining points made it so that i simply couldn’t be interested enough in the story to even wait for clarifications. - The characters are not interesting. The Mc seems sympathetic. And i even appreciate the handicap that was given to him( he is blind). However that's all there is to him. I would never say it enough but the Mc is the person that introduces us to the story. If he is easily defined by a single characteristic, most importantly in, the beginning of a story, it in turns , makes the story as bland as he is. The Mc in this book is sympathetic and seems to drag behind him a mysterious past. However he is not intriguing enough and is rather bland. A proof of that is that i'm only in the 10 first chapters but i'm not invested enough and want to drop the book. Now for the side characters , there’s that girl whose motivations and past are told. But i'm also uninterested in her. - The pace is slow. I feel like nothing really important happens in the chapters. And i guess it's because everything seems so slow and devoid of feelings or life. I don't know but this story lacks that special something that makes a story engaging and lively. All these points made me lose interest in the story. Still , it has a great concept. But the way the ideas are executed doesn’t tell about it. Finally, i whish the author good luck with his/her book and futur books.
