Leftover dal + disappointing book. I had fun with the first Courtlight novel, but this reads like an early draft. Edun‘s got cool ideas arranged in a decent order, but a lot of the connective tissue‘s missing. It‘s full of abrupt transitions, redundant bits, and consistency errors, with way more telling than showing. It‘s getting a little better, but I would‘ve bailed pretty early if I hadn‘t liked the first one so much. 😔
