It's okay..

This had such promise but there's just something strange with the writing. Things happen but they're not fully explained, it doesn't draw you into the story - it just tells you what has occurred. It's rote and unfulfilling. What should be pivotal scenes just pop out of nowhere with no lead in or explanation and it's just so mechanical in its story telling. I don't care when characters die or are tortured because there's no actual emotion written into the experiences. As I continued reading, I wanted to be more interested in the characters but Charles' presence is pointless and his character has no actual reason for existing, and the main character just falls flat. There's no single interesting character that stands out in the entire book which is sad because the author has built a flush and diverse world to build off of. It held such promise.. Oh well.
