This book spans from tragic and nauseating to lighthearted and witty. I’d say that it is not the most descriptive but can still be very heavy.bookwyrm242's review against another edition

I do think the writing could have been more concise, there was no reason this had to be 700 pages. But the academia, conflict, magic, and desires were definitely compelling. The reveal at the end that I proudly predicted will be the main thing that keeps me going through the series. I would say this is an okay read, and perhaps good for fans of thick “hard fantasy” novels with lots of descriptions.

El protagonista es un "héroe" [(bastante) impaciente] al que no le sale casi nada bien.
Creo que lo único que no me acaba de gustar es la visión de los personajes femeninos.
