The switching of perspectives written from first person for Alk and Lake creates a feeling a dissonance in the writing and detracts from the immersion. I find myself consistently wanting to skip all of Alk's chapter's because it feels a less interesting story that is delaying the development of the plot. Sure Alk's part seems to be world building and introducing new characters but he feels hollow as a character and not much is known about his intentions. I can't feel any excitement for it because I'm imagining a cardboard cutout of a goblin that can't think for himself. Did not feel like it would be the kind of novel to use switching perspectives and doesn't seem to benefit from it. I really enjoyed the earlier chapters before Alk's inclusion but I do not feel excited for the after 60ish chapters seeing the frequent swapping of perspectives.

Sorry for the swapping of perspectives :(. At that time, I thought that switching between characters would make the readers immersive. I tried making Alk White the centre of the novel (paired with Lake) since the two had dissimilar ideals, but I think I might have overdid it. I needed to fill the succeeding chapters with story lines, but I could have done something better. Thanks for the feedback, mate! I will heed your words in mind.
