This was tough to get through. Not because it's difficult to read, but because the writing feels so rudimentary. I saw another review saying it's like reading a DnD campaign, and I entirely agree - but to me that is not a compliment. The pacing is odd and everything is explained instead of described, but worst of all is how the male characters are sexualized and objectified, battered and belittled, and it's treated like they should "stop being such a bore", or like constantly being touched or oogled despite lacking consent is some sort of compliment?! Learning to understand the necromancer is a whole plotline that could have been interesting, but I do not find it cute or funny that she REPEATEDLY snuggles up to the main character when sleeping, despite him making it clear he is uncomfortable with that. Had that been a older man and younger woman it would have been obviously wrong, but now because he's a grumpy guy it's somehow funny? Lords. No.

Had to stop reading this. The main character, Logan is too much of a toxic person for me to be able to tolerate right now.
