Was Juss unironically retarded?

>tries to take Carcë with a tiny raiding party, all of whom die horrible deaths
>goes on an expedition with nearly 2,000 soldiers, gets all but 300 killed before they even get off their boats (these remaining soldiers also die almost immediately
>leaves his country completely defenseless, allowing an unchallenged enemy nation to destroy most of his castles, plus rape and murder untold thousands of his subjects
keep in mind he accomplished absolutely nothing in his journey aside from learning that he had to go back the entire way

The only reason his country wasn't entirely annihilated was because the Witchland generals were too busy trying to backstab each other to do a competent job of waging a war.
The only explanation I can think of to explain his abysmal decisions was that Ouroboros lowered his IQ by about 70 points and it just never gets mentioned.


god this book is a fucking slog
