Not fond of the MC's personality and how he treated his "date" at the very beginning.

So. This book in a nutshell: “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
And also: “BAM!”
And also: “WHOOSH!”
And also: “CRACK!”
And also: “HAROOOM! HAROOOM! HAROOOM!”
And also: “ROOOOOOOOM!”
And also: “AHHH!”
And also: “OOHRAH!”
Which, while a bit limited in terms of philosophical depth, isn’t a bad thing in itself. Especially not these days, when having your over-thinking little brain cells most thoroughly blasted to smithereens by pure, mindless non-stop action thingies (and their accompanying interjections) is most welcome indeed.
When the first “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” happened, I was singing at the top of my exoskeleton and rejoicing and stuff,naively thinking this book might maybe hopefully perhaps be another [b:Ice Station|144790|Ice Station (Shane Schofield, #1)|Matthew Reilly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388185756l/144790._SY75_.jpg|289833], meaning it had a potentially potential chance of leaving me feeling this way:

I was tricked! I'm a Sci-Fi kid and don't really like fantasy. Here I am now 100% invested in a series about princesses and castles, with fantastical creatures like griffins.
Yanez and Castle have done a fantastic job of weaving the two genres and now I'm hooked!
