2.0

Horribly written—pretentious, overly descriptive, and exaggerated figurative language confuses the plot & characters, making it difficult and slow to read. Just because it’s “high fantasy” doesn’t mean it gets a pass for boring, heavy prose—that’s not good high fantasy. 

Didn’t give us anything to like or reason to care about the main character. Nothing enjoyable about the dragons either, check trigger warnings. MMC and his friends/family are the only saving grace. 

Also, no resolution? Not necessarily a cliff hanger either since it wasn’t thrilling nor were we given much about these unknown characters to even care.
