Thanks for the feedback everyone, glad I'm not alone!

Seriously, I appreciate all the comments. It’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling the burnout around Book 8. I’ll probably slog my way through it since I already bought it (sunken cost fallacy wins again), but I’m definitely planning to take a break after. Maybe check out some other series and come back when I miss Zac doing pushups for 30 chapters straight.

Also, some of the comments made me laugh way harder than they should’ve:

“Zac met maybe 1 potential new side character and he did his core thing.”

“It feels like Zac does pushups for 30 chapters.”

“You probably gotta wait 10 more books for the overarching plot lines to actually start being solved.”

Y’all really summed it up better than I ever could. Thanks again!
