I enjoy fantasy and I saw ZA has essentially a cult following/fandom (I mean 13k weekly visitors??? Ok I’ll hop on—)

I got 100 pages into Book 1 last summer and had to put it down. A year later (now) I’m like — okay, let’s try again. When I say I forced myself through this damn book. I partially read it and partially listened to it. When I’d listen to it, I’d find myself literally making faces with either “Why would you put that in there” or “Why would you write it like that????”

The story felt shallow, and not even written well. I can’t care for the incest jokes and I can’t get into the hot for teacher story line.

Overall book 1 felt juvenile and lackluster and poorly written. So now, 2 questions —

1. Am I just too old for the story?? I’m 27 and
2. What am I missing?!!!??? / Does it get better??
