We don't trust people who murder their own children to escape responsibility. Sorry.

Kill your own children, pronto.

Communists deserve death. All of them. No exceptions. Thieves belong on the end of ropes, not discussing matters with actual humans.

By asking this question, you have refuted Egoism, since any answers I could provide would be external to yourself, and therefore be spooks.

By even attempting to engage me in this discussion you have confirmed that you believe the same as I do. Your submission is noted, and appreciated.

>I just don't agree with it
What does that have to do with the book's quality, brainlet? If I perfectly agree with the chronicles of fucking Narnia does that make it great literature?

So the first book starts in the middle of a war. None of the sides are adequately explained. We are given rapid, short character introductions and some demonstrations of magic systems which are also not adequately explained. A series of betrayals involving characters we don't care about because we haven't known them for longer than five pages each transitions into a bizarre mission to some gaspunk city where an entirely separate and equally ill explained plot runs parallel to the initial plot which wasn't adequately established or explained, culminating in an evil monster who was neither established nor built up nor foreshadowed meaningfully which is then resolved using a magic trick we haven't seen before in the magic system which was not previously adequately explained.

First book was fucking terrible. Its plot structure was awful, the storytelling was simply bad, the characters were flat and uninteresting and the worldbuilding, which might have compensated for these problems, was also scarcely shown off.

Then the second book is 250% better, but by this point nobody is fucking reading anymore except people with no taste because they actually liked the first book, so they do not understand just WHY the second book is good, and cannot articulate clearly to people who gave up on the first book that they should give the second book a chance.
