Defenetly one of the best books ive read. in Particular i like: 1. The world building: the world really feels full of mysteries that we want to explore the Ruins dream world as well as the postapocalyptic real world. 2. The power system: i like the thematic powers and especially the flaws. it always keeps things interesting and people don't get too overpowered. 3. Charters: the character interactions and development fell realistic especially the discrepancy between how sunny sees his relationships to other people opposed to how we and the other people in the story perceive them.

The story was great for about the first 1000 chapters(I dont know precisely I am doing this from memory). Perfekt 5 Stars great world building, magic system and character development. But at some point it went downhill the first thing that started to bother me was the power creep. It got completely out of hand, in every fight you have like twenty new spells tricks and bloodline abilities so that the only reaction you can have is "oh I guess this is possible now." or "hmmm I guess that just happened.". The second thing that started bothering me was the way charters started interacting. Every emotional interaction and reflection is so on the nose like "this is exactly how I am feeling and these are my rationalizations for the way I feel" most exemplary for this plump way of writing interactions between characters are the "mind links" were one character completely shares an experience with another, and the reaction Is always the same "oh i feel for you " and "now I completely agree with you". it's such a boring and plump way of forcing "character" development. Finally this is worsened by my third and final issue I have namely at some point all the characters started feeling the same because they all talk like lith and they all think/ reason in their heads like lith. All these combined make the average chapter just too bland. At this point I just want to know how the world will turn out in the end but it doesn't feel like its gonna end anytime soon so I will probably end up dropping it. So to anyone wondering if you should pick up this novel, yes do it just know when to stop.
