I'm currently at chapter 11 the story is kind of generic, the pacing is really confusing, and you don't feel attached to the characters at least at this point in the story.
the world background is also very confusing, we know it a magical world but still we don't know at what point they are technology wise, I mean the royals use horses and carriages but sometimes modern things are mentioned like a camera.
we also don't know how the world looks like, what are the countries around and how many continents are there.
one thing I will say is good is the writing quality(grammar), which I think is a lot better than many other books on this site.
