I&#x27;m glad it wasn&#x27;t just me. That book had the largest gap between how much everyone else hyped it and how much I hated it that I&#x27;ve ever encountered. I think the main problem for me was that it introduced so many characters and it rarely (if ever) returned to them in later chapters, that I just didn&#x27;t care about any single character at all. And that makes reading about them so tedious.
