Rather than dive right into the story, readers were introduced to the characters in a kind of confusing way. Because of that, the first 1/4 of the book really felt like nothing but an info dump. With it being the first in a new fantasy series, there was a ton of information that readers needed to find out and there wasn’t a whole lot of time to really immerse readers into the story.
