Mordew

Oh what to say about mordew. There were a ton of cool and unique ideas in this book. Unfortunately about 80% of them are in the 200 page glossary at the back of the book. The “world building” in this book is virtually nonexistant and the pacing is all over the place. I havent read such a passive main character in a LONG time and boy does nathan do nothing but be influenced by whoever is nearest him at the current moment in time. Its unclear what if anything he stands for and you spend the entirety of the book watching him be manipulated by countless different figures for no seeming purposes at all. The first 3/4 of the book drag along painfully slow and then all of the sudden the whole world crashes down in their revolt and nathan ends up trapped. I had high hopes for this book but it was unfortunately so bad I cant even stomach the idea of continuing the series and Im amazed i didnt DNF this book
