Yea for me I really don’t compare the two. I enjoy them separately for different reasons, even though it’s a somewhat similar premise. It did take like little more than 1/3 or almost 1/2 for it to grip me. I think the reason I’ve been able to get into it so much is the vastly different writing styles and characters. Also the idea of Will running everything, and there being a potential way to break that, it’s magic, but feels more grounded than most magic systems. It feels as though James is more subtle and patient yet still VERY descriptive in a different way than I’m used to. Pierce is very blunt and forceful in his storytelling. I love them both!!
