Warbreaker's Rise

Solid series with pacing issues

Classic System apocalypse series where we follow a dad and his 2 girls becoming the strongest in the early days after the system's arrival.

The only problem is the pacing. Book 1 ok, we have the classic early dungeon where the MC emerges ahead of the curve. The dungeon overstayed its welcome, but whatever. Book 2 establishes the clan/base. A bit boring as nothing exciting actually happens, but ok now that the base is there, we can start getting the story moving. Book 3... nothing at all happens. A couple of generic recourse runs and hints of things that might one day happen, but nothing actually does.

If book 4 doesn't get things moving, I'm dropping the series.

ps. the coverart really sucks and doesn't represent the story at all. What sets this apart is our MC being a dad with his little girls, not him having a generic axe and some strange light squiggles. Where are the daughters?
