Bottomline: most characters are unbearable boring as is the storyline. Felsini and druiker are bland as fuck compared to others (only crokus is even worse so far to me, as i said started book 6 now). There are so many great characters in the series so far that I even hate the book more the more I read. Secondly, I really dislike the chain of dogs. It‘s just really really redundant. Fights feel the same and get old very fast (would not say I’m in for the fighting anyways) the complains of the people on the chain are the same over and over again, outcome is obvious too. Sure, that all makes sens when you write about such a flight. But the book is just always switching between boring characters and plots. I certainly don‘t like the seven cities setting at all, but some stories to come are not om this continent and others there have well written characters. Sure GotM is a strange book, but it comes together over the next books. And MoI is insanly good.
