SPOILERRRRSSSSSSS (starting at 2nd paragraph) The characters and story of this book is really good and suits my taste very well. I'm currently caught up to the latest chapters and the thing I noticed the most is that some people complain about the amount of filler there is, I personally enjoy that part of the book. Reading the filler of this stuff makes the story feel like you're following the life of Sunless and not really his heroics or his legend that would be written down on a book. The filler that I despise however is the filler that just stretches out paragraphs and describes every action and thought in unnecessary detail, that makes my blood boil. cough cough the latest chapters of Paragon of Sin cough cough. One thing I do dislike about the novel is the fact that Sunless is so attached to his sister despite the amount of connection they have. Sunless doesn't really move on from his days as a kid from the outskirts despite being at the top of society with even a movie based on his cohort and him. I get that he's hanging onto the last thread of a happy memory of his younger days but he should really just let it go. I can tell that he's just going to keep hanging onto it instead of just leaving it behind him with how the story is progressing. Another thing that I'm sort of on the fence on is the fact that the "Fated" attribute is sort of used as a scapegoat for extremely unlikely events to happen in order for the plot to move on and progress. Like getting Weaver's bloodline for example or the events that transpired on the island with the mind attacking tree. It's not that big of a deal to be honest and I'm just nitpicking. It would be pretty hard to just rely on hard work and grit to keep the story going with this type of worldbuilding. I've seen some of the readers saying the character design of this novel is bad (Sunless in particular), I don't agree with it but I can see why people dislike it. This story is (In my opinion) a pretty good depiction in how humans would act in their current situation with the Spell in all of that. Sunless relies on the strategies that he's succeeded in order to survive in both the outskirts and the dream realm. The strategies being that he's very cautious and does not take his chances. He's also very introverted too which I believe contributes to his unlikeable character, he is also very confident or arrogant depending on how you look at it while showing envy sometimes when other characters get praise. He pretty cunning and shows it particularly well when faced against humans. I could go on and on about his character but I wont, this is just to describe Sunless and I actually like him at times and at times I also dislike him too. This makes him seem really human and also makes him pretty interesting for me. Anyhow thats my very uncoordinated rant and sort of review that came off the top of my head for this book. gud book in general.
