The 1st 3rd was very boring and irritated me cuz it had a lot of boring lol random seeming events

Also the initial protag fricks a catgirl and that deadbeat whore leaves him a kid

The middle 3rd looked much better when the witch b-word came along, she wAs a really enjoyable villainess

Also I listened to the audiobook version for the last third cuz I was impatient and on the road and in the fieldwork this week, and it's like 6 hours audiobook. - apparently the author himself read the book and he's a decent narrator

The 2nd half felt like all the random bullshit came together like an adult fantasy tale, which was nice. The audio book even featured a short interview with the author in which he states he wanted to write a Grimm's fairytale but like explicitly for adults

Also completely unrelated but there's some great sections in the book for all you fictionmania.com degenerates, the b-word witch 🧹 transforms a lot of shit, and at one point transforms a farmboy she kidnapped into a goat to pull her sled with another 🐐🐐🐐 goat

Then she lays a trap πŸͺ€ and creates a tavern to assassinate one of the protagonists for reasons, and transforms one of the goats she kidnapped into a dufus human with a speech impediment and the farmboy into a mute tavern wench, really out of the blue πŸ”΅

Sounds like shit, how do you manage to finish stuff you're clearly not enjoying? If after 100-150 pages a book still doesn't convince me I just give up lol.

But listening out of boredom on the car during a field trip makes it understandable.

When I'm working in the field or driving for two hours to a worksite it can become extremely tedious and boooooooring

Then even 40kslop can be like high theatre or like a glass of water to a person dying in the desert

Pretty mediocre imo. He went for the whole grown up fairy tale thing but it really came off as a YA novel with some "adult themes" like s*x and some violence. The prose and character development is basically anime-tier, with the chemistry between characters being forced. @MARFAN_EATS_DOODOO get the strong impression he wanted this too be a movie.
