Emperor of the Eight Islands

The premise is interesting, however the writing is inconsistent at best, and uninteresting at worst. Several scenes are well written and interesting, however they are usually bookended with scenes that are shoddily written, and hard to get through. The setting is interesting (and I love the cover art), but ultimately it was not enough for me to fully engage with the story.

I enjoyed it, but it didn't feel like a full story. The story certainly has potential to get real good real fast. It's an interesting decision publishing it in four parts over a few months. I will be reading the next one for sure.
